“The Federal Government of Nigeria, led by President Muhammadu Buhari is only fighting Sambo Dasuki. Should the fight against corruption begin and end with Dasuki? Is he the only corrupt person?”
These were the questions posed by Tanko Yakasai, who himself, has been roped into the arms deal scandal, as he was alleged to have benefitted from the alleged sharing of the $2.1 Billion by Dasuki.
Yakasai, who is the chairman of the Northern Elders’ Council (NEC) accused President Buhari administration of open disdain for valid court orders relating to the former National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki and others that are being held. \
According to him, the anti-corruption efforts of President Buhari administration are a mere propaganda war.
Yakasai said that up till now, Buhari government has not even started the case against Dasuki in the court, adding that he was granted bail twice and they refused to let him go.
“This is not a fight against corruption. It is a propaganda fight. They even convinced people like Professor Wole Soyinka who now believes that there is a fight against corruption, but there is no such thing. Otherwise, how many people have they arrested?
“All the people that are arrested today are connected with Dasuki. No other person has been picked. What of the governors, ministers, top civil servants and local government officials? Can you fight one person and say you are fighting corruption?” he queried. [myad]
