I Will Probe and Recover That Missing $20billion From NNPC –General Buhari

Keep calm Nigerians, our monies will recovered from all those who thought they were wiser than all of us. The President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has declared that his administration would take a closer look at the claim by the ex-Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, now Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, that $20bn which was supposed to be remitted by the NNPC to the federation account, could not be unaccounted for by powerful people in Jonathan's government.

Buhari warned that he is not ready to joke with anybody when it comes to Nigeria's money. He said, “On the issue of corruption, I heard that some people have started returning money. I will not believe it until I go and see for myself."

Buhari said this while receiving a delegation of party supporters and newly elected officials on the platform of the All Progressives Congress from Adamawa State at his campaign office in Abuja.

The President-Elect expressed surprise that instead of probing the allegations by the former CBN governor, the government of Jonathan chose to fire him. Buhari said that was a very wrong move.

According to him, since Sanusi’s claim was documented, his administration will probe the allegations in all sincerity and recover the money from all those involved, no matter how highly placed.

“You all know what the Emir of Kano talked about when he was the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He said $20 billion dollars, not naira, $20 billion dollars, was unaccounted for; they said it was a lie. Instead of investigating it, they sacked him."

Buhari has thus assured that Nigerians will start experiencing real governance from May 29, 2015.
