This was disclosed by the former president in an interview with ARISE TV on Friday.

While he is pursuing a former military governor who embezzled N313,000, the military leader claims that those who stole billions are currently free.
“When it comes to the current corruption scandals sweeping the country, military leaders are saints in comparison to democratic leaders.” “You can’t compare what we did in terms of corruption to what’s going on now. Corruption has increased in recent years. When compared to what is going on in the democratic era, we are saints.

“When I was in power, I fired a governor for misappropriating less than N313,000, but today, billions are being stolen and misappropriated; many of them are in court, but they still parade themselves in the streets,” he said.
So tell me, who else is a better anti-corruption fighter than you?” IBB also stated that he and Buhari have a very good relationship, blaming the media for the apparent rift between them.
