Again, President Mohammadu Buhari
has come to the rescue of his ministers and aides, absolving them of any
corrupt practices.
This came on a day the Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo, refuted claims in some quarters that the
anti-corruption war of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s government was targeted at members of the opposition party
and other perceived enemies, saying the view was grossly incorrect and
unfounded, Vanguard reports
Recall that the President had, during his first media
chat last
December, said none of his ministers was corrupt. “I don’t think I tolerate
corruption, I don’t think I picked anybody that I know will embarrass my
government. But if you have any evidence about any of my ministers, I accept
responsibility for the 36 ministers that I have.
‘’I don’t think I took anybody
among the ministers who has got a case in court. Tell me one out of the 36. I
don’t think I will deliberately make that mistake,” he said. He spoke against
the back-drop of reports, particularly by online media, that the immediate past
Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC,, who
is also Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, was being
investigated over crude oil swap deals and gas lifting during his tenure as GMD
of the petroleum corporation. In a statement by his media aide, Mr. Femi
Adesina, President Buhari appealed for decent and civilized comments,
particularly when it had to do with the integrity of those serving the country.
“Terrible and unfounded comments about other people’s integrity are not good.
We are not going to spare anybody who soils his hands, but people should please
wait till such individuals are indicted,” the President said.
Again, President Mohammadu Buhari has come to the rescue of his ministers and aides, absolving them of any corrupt practices.
