Buhari Can’t Praise Abacha And Still Claim To Be An Anti-Graft Crusader – Ajibade

Veteran journalist and author Mr. Kunle Ajibade in an interview with Punch said President Muhammadu Buhari cannot praise former military dictator Sani Abacha and yet claim to be an anti-corruption crusader.

When asked by the interviewer, Eric Dumo, how he feels about the celebration of Abacha few weeks ago by President Buhari, he said;

“When you defend a rogue the way President Buhari has defended Abacha, you cannot in all honesty describe yourself as an anti-corruption crusader.

“However, we should not allow President Buhari to get away with falsifying our recent history. Abacha was not only a murderer; he was a proven looter of our national treasury. Even if Buhari benefitted from Abacha, he shouldn’t have said those things.”
