Buhari blames Jonathan, OBJ, IBB for corruption, insecurity

FORMER Military Head of State and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the 2011 general elections, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari yesterday took a critical look at the state of the nation and declared that corruption and insecurity are fast undermining the future of Nigeria.

And tracing where and when Nigeria started getting it wrong, Buhari fingered the administrations of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, to the current President Goodluck Jonathan. He alleged that lack of sincerity on the part of leaders under the administrations of the trio caused the unimaginable level of corruption and insecurity in the country.
Buhari spoke as the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Dr. Matthew Hassan Kukah declared that no Nigerian president was ever prepared for the leadership of the country.
According to Buhari, the Federal Government, since the administration of Babangida to date, is responsible for the “high level of corruption and destruction” in the petroleum industry.
The former head of state spoke in Kaduna while receiving leaders and members of CPC led by House of Representatives member from Funtua/Dandume Federal Constituency of Katsina State, Dr. Mansur Abdulkadir, on a courtesy visit ahead of the forthcoming local council election in the state.
According to Buhari, for Nigeria to move forward and realise its quest for development, its people must come out with trusted leaders to steer the affairs of the nation. He lamented that “there is no country in the whole world where impunity thrives as it is the case in Nigeria”.
