Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second
Former Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, has claimed that the immediate past administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari was full of manipulations and fraudulent approvals.
Shittu, who served as a minister under the Buhari government, while speaking on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, stated that many persons close to the former president manipulated things to their favour, plunging the country’s economy into a downward slide.
“Let me tell you, there were a lot of manipulations and we even heard that a lot of the so-called approvals did not emanate from President Buhari,” he said.
Shittu, who was responding to comments that the previous government was printing money to run the economy, claimed that “There were a lot of manipulations and fraudulent approvals which did not emanate from the President.
“I am telling you confidently that a lot of it did not get his attention. There were a lot of people around the President who exploited their relationship with the President and conspired with the then-CBN governor.
Meanwhile, just as Shittu, the presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, had earlier said that many approvals for releasing funds within the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under Godwin Emefiele did not have Buhari’s signature.
“President Bola Tinubu has come out several times in fairness to him (Buhari), to say, ‘Look, this is what happened under the previous administration’. I think we have to acknowledge the fact that he (Tinubu) understands more than anyone that many of the approvals within the CBN that brought us to this point have no signature to President Muhammadu Buhari and had no knowledge of President Muhammadu Buhari,” Ngelale said.
