Emir Sanusi Says FG Has Not Done Enough To Fight Corruption
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of encouraging corruption in his administration.
The former governor of the Central bank of Nigeria, who was in an interview with CNN’s Christine Amanpour, stood by his claim that $20 billion was missing from the account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
He also said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), was correct about the level of corruption in the country.
“Yes, General Buhari is right on the level of corruption in the country and we need to address this sufficiently. We have not helped the situation by living in denial that the situation does not exist. I don’t want to dwell on this because of the time that we are and we are close to an election.”
About the missing $20 billion, he said: “This has not been addressed adequately and from the account of the corporation, about $20 billion was not remitted to the federation account. We need to address this.”
