President Muhammadu Buhari says
he has never been found guilty of corruption or abused trust throughout his
years of public service.
Buhari said this on Wednesday
during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in
Ebonyi state.
He had served as military head of
state, governor of the north-eastern state as well as chairman of the petroleum
trust fund.
He said even though he had been
arrested and detained over allegations of corruption, nothing incriminating was
ever found on him.
According to the president, “I
can assure you that I, as the president, today have never been in a position of
abusing trust.
“As a governor of the whole six
north eastern states, as minister of petroleum for over three years and as a
former head of state. I was arrested, detained, investigated but they never
found anything against me.”
Buhari also said fighting
corruption is a “very difficult process”, but” we are doing our best by trying
to reorganise the Nigeria police and the judiciary itself.”
“Because, we appointed people
that went into public office without their own houses, without even maybe good
cars, but within three years they build houses in Abuja, opened accounts in
Europe or America and we cannot touch them,” he said.
“But when we discover what they
have, we take them to court and when we take them to the court, we hope they
will be prosecuted and then we will punish them.”
‘BOKO HARAM HELD 17 LGAS UNDER JONATHAN’
Buhari said Boko Haram insurgent
group held sway in the north-east under former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He has been able to secure the
country from the hands of Boko Haram insurgents unlike in the past.
“First we had to secure the
country because part of the country was under threat in the north-east, at
least 17 local governments were in the hands of Boko Haram,” he said.
