Suanu's Blog

President Muhammadu Buhari has denied insinuations going round that he is protecting some corrupt politicians including Senator Godswill Akpabio from being prosecuted by the anti-graft agencies.

Suanu’s Blog recalls that Akpabio, who is the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State was alleged to have stolen N100bn belonging to the state during his tenure; a case that the EFCC has shown little interest in prosecuting diligently. Some Nigerians alleged that with the defection of Senator Akpabio to the APC from PDP, the EFCC may have been forced into giving up on the matter.

However, President Buhari in an interview with Arise TV described as unfair allegations that he was protecting some corrupt persons in his government while he was going after those in the opposition.

The President said he had formed the habit of following due process since his ouster as head of state in 1985 when he was fighting corruption through rash methods.

He said, “I don’t think Akpabio, when he moved to the APC, that I said he should be left alone. I cannot remember asking the EFCC, the ICPC, the police or anybody to spare any corrupt person or incompetent person.

“I haven’t done it and I challenge you to expose any.”
