Former head of state Muhammadu Buhari has claimed his administration cleaned up the corruption in Nigeria.
According to Buhari, the corruption that threatened to bring down Nigeria’s economy was thwarted by his administration.
His spokesman, Garba Shehu, made the announcement in reaction to the claims made by Mohammed Bello Adoke, the previous AG and minister of justice, regarding Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID), the Paris Club, and the Ajaokuta steel firm.
According to the ex-president, the scandals uncovered by Adoke date back to a government in which Adoke served as attorney general.
Buhari emphasized that the P&ID contract and incidental judgement were inherited from the previous administration.
Part of the statement says, “The logical conclusion any reasonable person can draw from P&ID, the Paris Club, and Ajaokuta is that President Buhari came on a rescue mission and effectively saved Nigeria from corrupt undertones that were planted to expose its economy to imminent collapse.” The anti-corruption efforts of the Buhari administration are unparalleled.
