A former Minister of Communication Adebayo Shittu said Tuesday that there were lots manipulations and fraudulent approvals under the immediate past government of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
Shittu stated this in an interview with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, believing that many persons close to the former president manipulated things to their favour, plunging the country’s economy into a downward slide.
He said, “Let me tell you, there were a lot of manipulations and we even heard that a lot of the so-called approvals did not emanate from President Buhari,” he said on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily while responding to comments that the previous government was printing money to run the economy.
“There were a lot of manipulations and fraudulent approvals which did not emanate from the President.”
“I am telling you confidently that a lot of it did not get his attention,” he insisted. “There were a lot of people around the President who exploited their relationship with the President and conspired with the then-CBN governor.”
Shittu called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to wade into the matter and ‘probe properly.’
“I hope the EFCC will probe properly as to how these things happen without the President knowing,” he said.
