President
Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed to Nigerians that he plans to probe only
the administration of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan. This
revelation confirms statements in recent times by the opposition party,
the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that Buhari was on a witch-hunt
against officials who served under President Jonathan. more...
Special Adviser on Media and Public
Affairs to Buhari, Femi Adesina, explained to media on Wednesday, July
23, 2015 that the probe will not extend beyond the Jonathan
administration.
“If you recall, that was already settled
before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste
time digging into the far past,” Adesina said. “The far past will
include Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not
waste time to go that far.”
President Buhari has just returned from a
4-day working visit to the United States of America where he revealed
that he was investigating crude oil theft and vowed to prosecute anybody
who was found to have looted public funds.
Specifically, he said that past minister
and officials had been stealing oil, selling it and diverting the money
to their foreign accounts. He said his government was still tracking
the funds
