While addressing a
delegation of Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who
paid him a congratulatory visit at his campaign headquarters in Abuja on his
victory at the polls, Buhari showed open bitterness that the present government
turned deaf ears over the missing money when it was raised by the former
governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanisu Lamido Sanusi, Vanguard
reports.
The President-Elect, who
spoke in the local Hausa language, expressed surprise that instead of probing
the allegations by the former CBN governor, the authorities chose to fire him.
He also noted that his
administration would not condone stealing of public funds meant to provide jobs
for the teeming jobless Nigerian youth.
“I heard that some people
have started returning money; I will not believe it until I go and see for
myself.
“Imagine a situation where
the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the Emir of Kano
raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20
billion.
“What happened, instead of
investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not,
they simply found a reason to remove him So these are the issues we are talking
about”, Buhari said.
Buhari listed his
government top priority areas to include security of lives and property, the
economy, job creation and the war against corruption.
This fresh declaration by
the president-elect comes hours after a pronouncement by the Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, that the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation has started refunding the unremitted $1.48bn into the
federation account.
