During an interview with
Vanguard,
presidential media adviser Femi Adeshina stated that president
Buhari is planning to probe the administration of former president
Goodluck Jonathan
He (Buhari) has said it that money in billions of dollars will be
recovered. But you know the world is too small a place for anybody to
hide if you are running from justice. You will be fished out. So, there
is no need that you say they should not be heading for jail if
eventually the law goes after them. Very few countries can they hide in
and how long will they hide? So, it doesn’t mean that anybody that has
ill gotten wealth will not regurgitate it. They will. Remember when he
went to Germany for the G7 summit, he met with President Obama and
Obama told him to just give us information on where the loot is hidden
and we will help you recover it and the government has been working on
that. So, that shows that looters will never go free" he said
Asked if Buhari plans to probe administrations before GEJ, Adeshina said
"He can’t afford to go too deep into the past or else it will be
destructive for his administration. There are some things you can’t
close your eyes to while you don’t want to shine the torchlight into the
dark recesses of our past; immediate past where things are evident. The
Yoruba have a saying that the corpse we buried, the leg is sticking
out and, if you bury a corpse and the leg is sticking out, you can’t
pretend. When there are trails all over of the monies in billions and
trillions, then a responsible government can’t close its eyes to that.
