PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari is above scandal and does not operate any bank account stashed with proceeds of corruption – those were the words of one of his aides, Garba Shehu.
“The President is still what he is; he is still above board,” Shehu said while appearing on Channels Television on Tuesday.
He was commenting on the outgoing administration’s anti-graft fight.
The president’s spokesman said that Buhari does not operate any account with stolen government funds and fears no scandal or prosecution after office.
“As his spokesperson, I go to bed, I sleep soundly convinced that nobody, whether from Nigeria or outside the country, can call me to say we have discovered this bank account and your boss has these huge millions. That’s not Buhari; he is a well-above scandal and that is how it will end,” Sheu said.
Buhari, a former military ruler, will end his two-term tenure of eight years on May 29, 2023 when the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu is expected to be sworn in.
