President Muhammadu Buhari, has said that some of his appointees have abused the trust he had over them.
Buhari said this while responding to a question thrown to him by a member of the press on Friday in Abuja after a Sallah service.
The press man had asked him about the recent corruption allegations arising from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
He responded:
“There has been an abuse of trust by people trusted by the previous administration and this administration,”
“A number of assets have been recovered and some money; but we have introduced TSA, Treasury Single Account, where all the money are taken.
“I said assets should be sold and the money put into TSA so the money can be identified at any level. And I will see who will come after us and take it back again to those who misappropriate public funds.”
Recall that the president had suspended the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, Ibrahim Magu, of which he had appointed.
Magu was suspended in July after corruption charges were brought against him by the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister Justice.
On the contrary too, House of Representatives publicly investigated financial misappropriation at the NDDC amid a plethora of drama with calls being made for the sack of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio
