Contrary to counter claims in some quarters that the US government was in possession of documents indicting top aides of Goodluck Jonathan, indications have emerged that President Muhammadu Buhari has, in fact, been handed shocking documents relating to monumental looting by ministers and others.
President Mohammadu Buhari
According to the Vanguard, President Muhammadu Buhari has been handed shocking documents relating to the top looters of Nigerian treasury by the United States of America. According to reports, the document implicates top aides and ministers of the former president, Goodluck Jonathan.
African leaders as well as other eminent Nigerians have been pleading with Buhari to give a soft-landing to the the indicted pioneers of the past administration and the president has agreed with their pleas on the condition that the looted funds will be returned to the state treasury in order to institute his development plans for the country.
It was with a view to avoiding what a very credible source described as a public embarrassment for the former leader, that Jonathan visited Buhari earlier in the month to beg for his understanding.
“The President advised Jonathan to prevail on his aides and ministers to return all the money they looted to enable him have access to funds with which to restructure and develop Nigeria for the good of everybody. But President Buhari became angry when Jonathan’s men became adamant.”
“Most of Jonathan’s men would have been arrested by now, but the President was being mindful of the nation’s democracy and, therefore, decided to pursue the matter in a civil manner.
"In fact, it was for this reason that the National Economic Council, NEC, decided to set up a special committee to ascertain the areas concerned and deal with it,” a presidency source told Vanguard.
