President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the claim by some Igbo leaders that he is being teleguided by certain forces in prosecuting the fight against corruption. A group operating as Igbo Leaders of Thought, under the leadership of Prof Ben Nwabueze had said in a recent statement that President Buhari's anti corruption war was being directed by an invisible government controlled by Rtd Generals Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalam Abubakar, and Olusegun Obasanjo.
Reacting through the Senior Special Adviser, Media Affairs, Garba Shehu, the presidency said that Buhari's disposition to listening to all should not be misconstrued as manipulation.
"He will listen to everyone as a leader who is open to all. Nobody should lose sight of the fact that responsibility is his own and he is conscious of that. So, saying that somebody is teleguiding him cannot be the case, " he said.
He also said that though the president is not directly probing anyone, he would not interfere with investigations being done by the anti corruption agencies.
“Government is not probing anybody at the moment. But there are matters that he has turned on the table, going through the processes of investigations by the EFCC, ICPC; whatever, those things are, they must go on. Whatever is on the table must be treated, " he said.
