Former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma yesterday asked the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to probe the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, which he described as “very corrupt”.
He spoke to reporters in Takum, Taraba State, while commissioning three newly built bridges along Takum-Katsina Ala road.
The bridges were built by Danjuma at the cost of over N500million.
Danjuma, who expressed dismay that the country’sdebt was over $60 billion, said he is optimistic that Buhari on assumption of office would probe persons found guilty of corruption.
He pointed out the debt burden was necessitated by the financial recklessness of the outgoing government.
According to him:”What we are hearing is that the treasury of the country is empty at the federal level. A debt of $60 would be left behind for the incoming government.
“I’m calling on the new administration to investigate what happened to our monies as soon as Buhari takes over power on May 29. With that, some of the stolen funds would be recovered.”
Danjuma also urged well meaning Nigerians, including security agencies to cooperate with the incoming government to succeed.
