Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday said that he probed the accounts of the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF after the tenure of Muhammadu Buhari, Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC ; PUNCH reports.
Obasanjo made the disclosure in Ogun State when Buhari and other national leaders of the APC visited him.
Addressing Buhari, Obasanjo said, ''When you were going to become the manager of PTF. We talked about it and when you finished and I took over, we looked into it.
''I haven’t said this publicly, I would say it publicly now. When we looked into it, there was really nothing amiss except that that organisation went from road building to mosquito net-buying and all sorts of things.
''And what the investigation discovered is a bit of inconsistency in prices and all that. In one area, mosquito net might have been given for N50; in another, N45. And I then remarked that this is fishy. We should look into it.
''And I called my brother and colleague (Buhari), I said see this and he said ‘look we are managing billions of Naira and I tried to make sure I see everything.But I will not say that what they have said about this is correct or not correct. But I can assure you, I tried to see everything.’
''I said okay Muhammadu, between me, you and God, was there any personal benefit for you? And you said ‘no.’ I said that is the end of the matter.
''Although there was that investigation, its report was not of any material importance.
Speaking further, Obasanjo encouraged Buhari to make sure his campaign was issue based.
