\n

President Muhammadu Buhari, says he will on May 29 speak on the recovered stolen funds from persons that had been indicted in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe report is expected to be part of his speech on that day recognised as Nigeria\u2019s Democracy Day.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Channels Television in the UK, where he took part in the London Anti-Corruption Summit, President Buhari said: \u201cSo far, what has come out, what has been recovered, in whatever currency, from which ministry, department and individuals, I intend on the 29th to speak on this because all that Nigerians are getting to know are from the newspapers, radio and television.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make a comprehensive report by May 29\u201d.<\/p>\n

On whether the names of the corrupt government officials or those indicted would be published, he said it would eventually be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to successfully prosecute them. But you know you can\u2019t go to the court unless you have the documents to do your prosecutions \u2013 where some of these people sign for these monies, send it to their personal bank accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir banks gave a statement that the money is there when it came how much of it available and so on\u201d.<\/p>\n

Never Heard The Word \u2018Padding\u2019<\/p>\n

On the 2016 budget and the delay that had characterised its processing, he pointed out that if he had not uncovered the padding of the budget, corruption would have crept into the budget, blaming it on technocrats.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never heard the word \u2018padding\u2019 until this year. I never heard about it. And what does it mean?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means that the technocrats just allow the government to make its noise, go and make presentation to the National Assembly so they will remove it and put their own. So, when we uncovered this, we just have to go back to the basics again,\u201d he told Channels Television\u2019s correspondent, Chukwuma Onuekwusi.<\/p>\n

President Buhari also made comments on security issues, fight against Boko Haram, increasing herdsmen attacks on communities, militancy in the Niger delta and what will happen to those bowing up gas pipelines in the oil-rich region.<\/p>\n

He stressed that he had asked the Chief of Naval staff and other Service Chiefs to work together and make sure that those blowing up installations and subverting the investment in Nigeria would be dealt with eventually.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in the Petroleum Trust Fund, we made a comprehensive study of cattle routes and grazing areas through Nigeria. I am referring the Governors\u2019 Forum and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development to it. Let them see what they can do and save the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere seem to be some credibility to the fact that there are other than Nigerian cattle rearers involved,\u201d he said, linking the development to the crisis in Libya.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow this is because of what happened in Libya. When Gaddafi during his 43-year regime, he trained some people from the Sahel\u2026 Militarily, he trained them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen his regime was overthrown, those people were again dispatched to their countries. They are gone, carrying their weapons and they found themselves even in Boko Haram,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

President Buhari further said that the increasing herdsmen attacks on communities in Nigeria had become a governmental project, with the government ready to \u201ctrace them, disarm them and if necessary try them and discipline them\u201d.<\/p>\n

President Buhari had during the London Anti-Corruption Summit requested for the repatriation of funds that had been stolen and taken to the UK by past government officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
