Late Sani Abacha
The Federal Government has won the case to have the country’s money looted by ex-head of state, Sani Abacha repatriated from the United State of America where the fund has been stashed. This is equally as the Attorney-General, Malami is billed to visit US next week for the fund’s repatriation.
This was disclosed, Friday, by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
Shehu was reacting to some claims making the rounds that President Buhari had donated USD 500 million to Democratic Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the recently held Presidential elections in U.S which saw the Republican Donald Trump emerge the President-elect.
According to Shehu, Nigeria has no such money to throw around and even if it does have, President Buhari who has zero tolerance for waste cannot do such unjustifiable act.
“What is the craziest accusation made against President Buhari?”
“That he donated USD 500 million to Hillary’s campaign and that Donald Trump is angry. This has gone viral, sadly Nigerians are believing it!”
“President Buhari’s Nigeria doesn’t have this kind of money to throw around. Even if the money is there, this President is the least likely person to give it as donation, and for what?”
“As we speak, President Buhari is concluding agreements with the U.S. to return our stolen money in their banks.
A FGN account has already been given for the return of one million Dollars from Alamisiegha.”
“Judgement on the USD 480 million Abacha loot has been won and our Attorney-General, Malami (SAN) will be in the US next week to speak to the Department of Justice, USDOJ on the next steps for the return of that as well.”
“The U.S is paying to Nigeria, not the other way round, abi?”
