Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to stop acting like the grandfather of corruption in Nigeria, even as he asked Nigerians to demand the release of the authentic report of the Committee on Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement in the Nigerian Armed Forces. In a statement issued on Sunday, July 17, by Lere Olayinka, the governor’s special assistant on public communications and new media, Fayose said that although fighting corruption is a good idea, but noted that the moment documents of probe panels are being adjusted to shield those seen as the President’s men, shows that entire purpose of the corruption fight has been defeated. Fayose said it is clear that Buhari supports corruption, following the claim by the federal government that the probe panel only looked into procurement and contracts awarded by the military between 2011 – 2015 because documents regarding procurement from 2007 to 2010 were not available, Premium Times reports.
He said: “It is now obvious to the entire world that anyone that is in President Buhari’s good books can never be adjudged as corrupt even if such a person is caught looting the entire money in Nigeria’s treasury. “There are many petitions relating to defence from 2007 that are been discarded, the question is why? There are several petitions against APC leaders that are not being looked into, the question is why? “Fighting corruption and targeting only opponents of the president is in itself corruption. “Buhari’s’ Minister of Interior, Major General Abdul rahman Dambazau (rtd) was Chief of Army Staff between 2008 and 2010 and the current Chief Of Army Staff, Major General Tukur Buratai served as Director of Procurements, Defence Headquarters, from 2012 till May 2015.
