FG goes all out, names looters in Goodluck Jonathan’s government
The Federal Government has been “pushed” into naming alleged looters of the nation’s treasury.
Information Minister Lai Mohammed did justice to the list during a press conference in Lagos on Friday.
He said opposition party PDP challenged Buhari’s government to name any individuals involved in corrupt practices rather than continuously blaming Jonathan’s government of bringing the national reserves to ruins.
All individuals named by Mohammed served in different capacities in the past government. They are being tried for alleged corrupt practices.
“The PDP has challenged us to name the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury,” Mohammed said as he released the names.
“Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their watch. Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of their apology.”
Of all the names released, however, there were no new revelations as the cases against said individuals have been properly documented.
