Former Head of State, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has said that corruption in Nigeria is worse under civilian leaders than under military rulers, Newspremises reports.

Babangida who said this on Friday during an interview with Arise TV, disclosed that people who steal public money under civilian administrations are on the streets walking free.

He said during his time as military head of state, he sacked a governor for misappropriating less than N313,000, adding that military leaders are saints in that regard, compared to what is happening under the democratic dispensation.

According to him, “Well on that, you can’t compare it with the facts on the ground now. You can say it. From what I read, from analysis, I think we are saints when compared to what is happening under a democratic dispensation.

“I sacked a governor for misappropriating less than N313,000.

“Today, those who have stolen billions and are in court are now parading themselves on the streets. Who else is better in fighting corruption?”

The former military head of state blamed politicians for disunity in the country.

He said there was a time in the country when people held positions in regions outside their ethnicity, adding that the present crop of politicians are not serious about nation building.

“Till today, unfortunately, the political class are not really into this seriously and say how do we build a nation,” he said.

Why is IBB TAlking so much all of a sudden. Too many news on him just one day. Strange

This man has been talking too much lately.
Why not tell your moles in the Nigeria Army to overthrow this bastard Buhari currently in Power like you did in 1985?
IBB, OBJ, TY Danjuma, Gowon & other ex-presidents are just sitting down & watching this daft cattle rearer president burn this country to the ground.
Shame on them

Who are the civilian leaders ?

Coming from The man that certificated corruption

Hope you are okay bros.

Last thing this country needs is another military coup sponsored by IBB. Have sense.

Buhari’s tenure is nearly over, you either impeach him or patiently wait for it to be over, ensure you participate in voting and mobilise your people to vote for a candidate of your choosing. That’s the way forward, not another military take over of the country. Have sense.
