Former military head of state General Abdulsalam Abubakar and members of the National Peace Committee for the 2015 elections were rattled by the stubborn posture and utterance of President Muhammadu Buhari during a meeting with him inside Aso Rock.
Abdulsalam had led members of the Peace Committee in another mission to plead with Buhari not to probe the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
But some of those present at the meeting told SR that the President remained obstinate and made no secret of his determination to proceed with the probe of all those who have stole our money...
According to Sahara Reporters, today’s meeting was a stepped up version of previous failed attempts to sway Buhari from his determination to probe acts of corruption by officials of Jonathan’s administration.
During Buhari’s US visit, American officials handed him dossiers that detailed stealing perpetrated by key officials of the Jonathan administration. Members of Buhari’s delegation during his US trip said that the extent of the looting left President Buhari angry, and strengthened his determination to unearth the widespread embezzlement of Nigeria’s funds.
After Buhari’s return from the US, President Jonathan stepped up maneuvers to talk him into discontinuing the probe of his administration. But it appears that is not working as Buhari remains resolute.
“We are also looking at properties purchased in Ghana, Dubai, UK and US by various officials of the immediate past administration,” a top source in the presidency revealed.
