BafanaBafana:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday lauded a former Nigerian military dictator, Sani Abacha.
Mr Buhari, who served under the late Mr Abacha as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund, (PTF), said the late dictator contributed to the infrastructural development of the nation.
This is not the first time Mr Buhari will be defending his late boss. He once expressed doubt about confirmed cases of theft of public resources by Mr Abacha.
Hundreds of millions of dollars stolen by Mr Abacha and kept in foreign accounts have since been recovered by various Nigerian governments. Recently, Mr Buhari narrated what his government would do with the recently recovered stolen Abacha funds.
Mr Abacha ruled Nigeria as military head of state between 1993 and 1998 when he died in office.
His regime was characterised by abuse of power, wanton corruption, victimisation of pro-democracy activists and killings of notable figures in democratic struggles, ostensibly by agents of the state.
But speaking when he received a delegation of Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, Mr Buhari said the late Mr Abacha built roads, hospitals and other notable developmental projects when he served as head of state.
The president told the group of supporters that when he assumed office, most of the roads in Nigeria were in terrible condition, adding “some of them were not repaired since PTF days.”
PTF is the Petroleum Trust Fund set up by late Mr Abacha in 1994 to utilise the proceeds of a petrol price increase.
Mr Buhari headed the PTF, which was reputed to have constructed many road projects across the country ironically while the military dictator stole Nigeria blind.
Mr Buhari, who has been criticised for looking the other way while Mr Abacha stole billions of dollars from public treasury while in office, again justified his working with the dictator.
“No matter what opinion you have about Abacha, I agreed to work with him and the roads we did from PTF exist from here to Port Harcourt, to Onitsha, to Benin and so on.”
He said the agency also intervened in education and medical care among others.
Mr Buhari also said the railway in Nigeria “was killed” by one of Nigeria’s former rulers.
The president also took a shot at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying the $16 billion the ex-president allegedly spent on power projects was questionable.
He said, “…one of the former Heads of State between that time was bragging that he spent more than 16 billion American dollars, not Naira, on power. Where is the power? Where is the power? And now we have to pay the debts,” in apparent reference to Mr Obasanjo.
Mr Obasanjo has since replied the president, accusing him of being ignorant of the issues surrounding the controversial spending on the power projects.

That is the news from the link you provided, where in it did Buhari say Abacha never stole. and you have searched google and couldn't come up with anything which other google are you referring me to? If you can't show evidence Buhari said so just shut the hell up

Stop swimming in ignorance.. It was all over the news as at then.. I even watched a clip of it during the build up to the general elections in 2011.. As a person, we all have weakness and one of buharis weakness is the personal love he has for Abacha in case you don't know..

With all the money being received by his government and even the ones before him, have u seen buhari make any serious statement concerning the loot?

That you love someone doesn't mean u have to keep defending him blindly despite the ugly truth staring at you.. So all the news paper in the country just decided to put up lies in about a man making a statement?

Here is another from the Guardian.. Possibly written by another IPOB I guess

https://guardian.ng/news/buhari-confirms-loot-10-years-after-defending-thieving-abacha/amp/
I said show a news source that was all. Now this one you have presented is the only one that looks like news. The thing is this, 101 things have been said about Buhari by your kind which have all been false. Only fools and mischief makers will believe anything said about him now without verification. And please don't advice me because you don't pay my bills.

It is most certain that the money Abacha allegedly stole and laundered must have been from the crude oil sale and deals.
If this position is true, how do we conveniently divorce Abacha's theft from his petroleum minister?
To think that their voices are the loudest when it comes to not saving for the rainy day undecided

Coming from the same person that tried to advice me initially.. So which of my bills do you pay?

And only a fool and mischief maker will think that only people that pay their bills are entitled to advice them.. Have a nice day son..

At least you agreed that this second one looks like news.. Next time to come online to display gross ignorance and arrogance, not everybody here says what they ain't sure of
