Adebayo Shittu
Commenting on the reports that the previous administration was printing money to run the economy, Shittu said Buhari was unaware of some things.
A former Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, has alleged that the Buhari-led administration was marred by manipulations and fraudulent approvals.
Recall that presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, had also said many approvals for releasing funds within the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under Godwin Emefiele did not have Buhari’s signature.
During an interview with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Shittu said many persons close to Buhari manipulated things to their favour, plunging the country’s economy into a downward slide.
Commenting on the reports that the previous administration was printing money to run the economy, Shittu said Buhari was unaware of some things.
The former Minister called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to wade into the matter and ‘probe properly.’
He said, “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.
“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.
“I hope the EFCC will probe properly as to how these things happen without the President knowing.
