IBB Threatens to Expose Buhari’s Corruption
Former President, Muhammadu Buhari
Former President Ibrahim Babangida
has threatened to expose the corruption of Former President Mohammed Buhari
especially as relates to his tenure as Minister of Petroleum.
Buhari was appointed Minister of
Petroleum in 1976 under the Murtala/Obasanjo administration. Not much is known
about any scandals that occured during his tenure as Minister, but there are
rumors of the mysterious disappearance of US$2.8 Billion from the NNPC account
in Midlands Bank in
the United Kingdom, during Buhari’s stewardship.
Now that IBB has threatened to
expose him, it lends a certain credibility to the rumors indicting Buhari of
grand graft.
Babangida
who released a statement through his media adviser, Prince Kassim Afegbua said,
“On Gen. Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his
colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant
with Gen. Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.
“He is a
one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as
minister. Secondly, he also presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund ( PTF) which
records we also have. We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those
two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his. “records of
performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses do not throw
stones. Gen. Buhari should be properly guided.”
