President Muhammadu Buhari says that he is not losing any sleep over accusations that he has been selective in his anti-corruption war because those indicted will be confronted with documents that incriminated them.
He said that some powerful Nigerians are constituting stumbling blocks to his government's anti-corruption crusade in order to derail the project.
His words ;
“I cannot tell you offhand how much we have recovered (in looted funds) but those who said we have been selective, if they have not been involved in corruption, they would not mind; they will even encourage us to get whoever has compromised his position in the trust given to them.
“So, I see it in the papers, I watch it on the screen but I have never lost sleep over it because those who are not corrupt should only encourage us to even do more.
“But those who are interested, those who have abused the trust will go to any length including bribing people to give false information.
“I have not been selective. Whoever is caught, the documents that incriminate him or her will be used to prosecute him (or her) for Nigerians to know really who has abused trust.
“The stumbling blocks are big, corrupt Nigerians that have the capacity to compromise the integrity of a lot of people, either the law enforcement agencies or journalists to make sure that they discourage the government from pursuing them and recovering public funds from them or punishing them. Those who aspire to public office, we will make sure what they are going to get is service and not looting.”
