Attahiru Bafarawa, a former Governor of Sokoto State has opined that it’s going to not augur effectively for Nigerians if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu avoids probing ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
According to him, “Nigerians will never forgive Tinubu,” if he ignores the probe.
He added that the President will solely “kill himself politically” ought to he disallow Buhari for answering to his “wrongdoing.”
“It can be a catastrophe and it’ll not assist the nation if Tinubu fails to probe Buhari’s administration. If he needs to get off the blame, he ought to probe the previous administration. If Buhari is discovered clear, then individuals can be proud of him. But if he’s discovered wanting, he ought to reply for his wrongdoing.
“But it will not augur well for Nigerians to allow Buhari to go just like that. If President Tinubu allows Buhari to go scot-free, he (Tinubu) should know that all that Buhari did while he was in government, Tinubu would be seen as the person who did it,” he stated in a chat with Punch.
Asked whether or not Buhari’s probe will clear up the financial issues the nation is confronted with, he stated: “If Buhari investigated some individuals in (Goodluck) Jonathan’s administration, what stops Tinubu from investigating Buhari’s authorities? I say this as a result of Buhari investigated Jonathan’s administration and some huge cash was recovered.
“What among the officers in Jonathan’s administration stole is meagre in comparison with what Buhari’s authorities has achieved. The Buhari administration borrowed cash after which they embezzled the cash they borrowed. After they borrowed cash, we couldn’t see what they spent the cash on.
“The President should try and be independent because people will judge him after he leaves office. But for now, he cannot take the blame for all that the Buhari administration did. If he dares to do it, he is going to kill himself politically. Nobody will blame Tinubu for probing Buhari’s administration. If Buhari is not found guilty, at least, he will continue to say that he is a clean man. Truth be told, Nigerians will never forgive Tinubu if he fails to probe the Buhari administration.”
