The president told the peace committee led by Abdusalami Abubakar, former head of state that his administration will not only recover the stolen funds, but will also put the offending officials on trial. He said, “Nigeria has to break this vicious cycle before we can make progress.” According to him, many things were done without due process, and he said that was why the country suffered economically and security wise.
For instance, Buhari said, “ As Petroleum Minister under Gen Olusegun Obasanjo in the 1970s , I could not travel abroad until I had taken a memo to the Federal Executive Council asking for estacode. Now, everybody does what he wants.” However, the president probably did not ask his former boss how it was done during his tenure as civilian head of government. Would trips abroad be considered an act of corruption because it was not approved by the FEC or because it violates latent regulations and economic policies of government.
What is clear, however, is that notwithstanding complaints about the speed of the current administration, the war against corruption has started, and this may come with surprises.
