Let’s quickly look closely at Buhari’s declared intention to end corruption in Nigeria. At this point we need to remind readers that most Nigerian experts regard Sani Abacha, a former Nigerian Head of State as one of the most corrupt leaders that Nigeria has ever had. Yet it’s on record that Buhari served under Abacha’s administration with a portfolio that held billions of dollars in it budget. Buhari was the head of Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF under Abacha’s regime. Probably because he was anxious to defend his former boss or that he was actually speaking sincerely, but Buhari jointly defended Abacha’s regime with his military friend Abdulsalami Abubakar by declaring that “Abacha served Nigeria well.” (See the Nigerian Guardian of June 9, 2008.) According to the report the two men made the statement in support of Abacha’s widow Maryam Abacha who complained that “there was no basis for accusing her husband of corruption.” In the report Buhari personally went further to say that; “All the allegations leveled against the personality of the late Sani Abacha will remain allegations.” Furthermore, and in Buhari’s opinion, because “it is 10 years now, [since Abacha’s death] things should be over by now.” So there you have it, Buhari, Nigeria’s corruption general who is leading, as the new slogan says, the “war against corruption” advises Nigerians to just move on and away from talking about Abacha’s corrupt practices since “patience and time” of ten years should be enough to create the necessary collective amnesia

.

TANiods hate for dis man remains a great mystery.

Whoever doubt it, must have serve under Jonathan.
