Itse Sagay, President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption adviser, believes that the president's anti-corruption war is “pure”, regardless of growing criticisms over his handling of corruption allegations against top officials.
He was reacting to the controversial re-integration of Abdurasheed Maina, futigitive former pension chief, into the civil service.
According to him, critics were being “extremely unreasonable” and desperate to find fault.
“People who are determined to find wrong will find it no matter how pure the situation is,” he said.
“Maina escaped out of this country under Jonathan. When he was sneaked back into the country, did Buhari know about it? The first time he knew he ordered that the man be dismissed and arrested. What more do you want him to say? I think people are extremely unreasonable.”
He also faulted the demand that the Interior Minister, Abdulrahman Dambazzau and the Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, be fired for their role in the recall.
“These are early days. Inquiries are going on to find out the role of everybody. He is not going to fire anybody without getting all the sides. Do you know he even wrote the Head of Service? It is when investigation is concluded, that you start hearing action being taken,” said Mr. Sagay.
