Buhari: I’ll look into missing NNPC $20bn

Buhari disclosed this yesterday in Abuja when he received an All Progressives Congress (APC) delegation from Adamawa State led by its governor-elect Alhaji Jibrilla Bindow.
He said “since this (missing funds) was documented, the new administration will take a lot at it.”
The president-elect who was speaking on corruption said: “You all know what the Emir of Kano talked about this when he was the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria when he said $20 billion US dollars not naira, $20 billion US dollars was unaccounted for. They said it was a lie, instead of investigating it they sacked him.”
He added “And God in his infinite mercy made him the emir of Kano, in any case that is what he wanted.”
On speculations that some serving and former government officials had started returning looted money, Buhari said: “I heard that some people have started returning money; I will not believe it until I go and see for myself.”
On Boko Haram, he said it was purely terrorist activities not religious. “I said it earlier, all the religions we practice and both Islam and Christianity do not support terrorism. It is our hope that God gives us the power to end this,” he said.
He said unemployment is the “biggest problem we have in Nigeria today because of this, apart from security challenges the next thing is to find jobs for our youths. Our youth’s form 60 percent of our population in Nigeria. Without jobs these people who are still bubbling with energy will constitute a danger for this nation. If our youths don’t get jobs we will not enjoy our stay in this nation.
“The 16 years of the PDP has further impoverished the people, it was the PDP, not the APP, not the CPC, not the APC because of that, within the next four years, we will do our best,” he said.
