Garba Shehu, former President, Muhammad Buhari’s media aide, has slammed a critic of his principal, who, according to him, served as a military governor in one of the northern states.
According to Shehu, the former military administrator even bought his underwear from government coffers.
Shehu pointed out that his principal made some decisions during his time in power, some of which might have been wrong, but his [Buhari] intentions were always for a better Nigeria.
Shehu reminded critics of the former President that the last administration took a number of significant steps to tackle corruption.
He said these measures include the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPS).
“We have seen massive positive changes in the last eight years but as they say, the one who is pretending to be asleep is harder to wake up than the one who is actually sleeping,” Shehu said, insisting that Buhari achieved massively in his eight years.
“A certain Buhari ‘critic’ who served as a military governor in one of the Northern states, even his underwear was bought from government coffers.
“When they came in, they freed thieves, robbers and receivers of stolen goods and even gave them a working capital!
“Within a few weeks, crime returned to Kaduna, and yes, the other places and he has the effrontery to speak as he did. This society has no use for such squalid nonsense!
“How many of these people do you think were happy when President Buhari said ‘no more free money?’
“Buhari said money in the National Security Agencies is for security. Lazy men and women who can’t work cannot just walk in and walk out of that place with bags stuffed with money in a free-for-all.”
