Despite constantly asserting that he is fighting corruption at any given chance, President Muhammadu Buhari has scored low in his anti-graft campaign.
Buhari was rated low in his anti-corruption fight by one of the country’s former presidents, Ibrahim Babaginda who granted an exclusive interview to ARISE TV on Friday.
IBB maintained that the people who worked under him will be classified as ‘saints’ compared to those currently in power with Buhari.
The military leader said while he moved against a former military governor who embezzled N313,000, those who stole billions are currently walking freely.
“With the current cases of corruption going on across the country, the military leaders are saints when compared to the democratic leaders.”
“You cannot compare what we did with what is on the ground now in terms of corruption. Corruption is more now. We are saints when compared to what is happening in the democratic era.
“When I was in leadership, I sacked a governor for misappropriating less than N313,000 but today, billions are being stolen and misappropriated, a lot of them are in court but still parade themselves in the streets. So tell me, who else is better at fighting corruption?”
IBB also said he has a very good relationship with Buhari, blaming the seeming rift between them on the media.
