Buhari speaks on why he can't reveal names of govt officials returning loots

President Buhari says any attempt to reveal the names of former government officials that are returning looted funds may jeopardize others from returning their loots. Buhari stated this while delivering his keynote address at the Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe lecture in Abuja today December 11th. He said CBN will reveal the names of the former government officials in due course


“As I stated recently, a good number of people who abused their positions are voluntarily returning the illicit funds. I have heard it said that we should disclose the names of the people, and the amount returned. Yes, in due course, the Central Bank of Nigeria will make information available to the public on the surrendered funds, but I must remark that it is yet early days, and any disclosure now may jeopardize the possibility of bigger recoveries. But we owe Nigerians adequate information, and it shall come in due course. It is part of the collective effort to change our land from the bastion of corruption it currently is, to a place of probity and transparency.”he said

Story for ur hausa gods.is this what u said when campaigning?the records are there so why do u need them to return the loot and escape punishment.I guess we can scratch "buhari the punisher" from ur resume.so now its all about returning loot peacefully.they returned loot to cbn and finance minister came to deny it self after u said it.u guys are joking.So this must mean since others won't come out cause they don't want to be named this must mean that u have struck a deal not to name anyone right???so we will never get names.and later u will start pointing to people who will come out and deny it.Just admit the truth u aboki.u thought presidency was easy and ran ur mouth.now u know the difference between democracy and military ghosts are now returning money.lol.....why should money loving politicians return money when u are yet to even jail one person..get out sir,FAST!!!!! ............linda if u like don't post this one too.that's how u run ur blog.nothing in this country is done right.

You see? And some idiots on this blog were saying that Buhari was lying about returning looted funds. Abeg this man knows what he is doing and he is making a whole lot of sense. How can he disclose the names now when he still has a lot to collect from looters? What a brilliant idea! This is called military intelligence.

I have a strong feeling that Deziani is among those that have returned looted funds because the way Deziani pursue Buhari dey look for am up and down after they declared him winner was alarming.

Linda can you please send this to Dear mr president that we are happy to hear that our lost funds are found through CBN this is not only what we wanted, we also want to know how much are being recovered and how it were spent.
Recovering funds is not important but how does the recovery funds being used? This is transparency as Mr President said.
More over I shall be pleased if government could let some of these people being tired in the court to serve as deterrent to others as I can tell the public that no one among the present members of the ruling party are innocent.

All I know is that there is no government offical who is not a thife,even you mr president.
If we are to go back to 1985 am sure we will dig some things out,so is never a big deal.
You can,t swear that you are not fighting those who said wrongly about you during election periods,
Easy because no body knows tomorrow,fighting corruption is good but do not use it fight in order to revenge.

Hmmm ok good, we are waiting to see their names.

Unknown said...

How much are they returning,little amount of the money from d huge amount money they stole,just to b free from ur witch hunting wickedness(if is true)...Funny all APC members are looters 2...we know that u pple will loot Nigeria to make APC richer then PDP n the Richest in west Africa,we know all una plan..Heard ur son is now Flexing big time in Abuja...all in all notting last 4 ever..

Anonymous said...

I don't get it, how can the revelation of names jeopardize further recoveries? That, to me, is not feasible. I'll rather say that the opposite will be the case when names are revealed. Others will be encouraged by the fact that known and influential individuals have started returning their loots and will do same. This postulation is very simple and logical. Buhari may be up to no good with this kind of illogical excuse.

Now that's a good reasoning...... we still watching u sir.... God bless my country with good leaders

You will not disclose the info now but later?
Don't you think that your statement has already jeopardised the possibilities of bigger recovery already?

It would be nice to know their names, but if they fear prosecution and are willing to return most of the funds, keep their names. Let us just pray the Buhari govt is accountable about the returned funds

Assume a fat cat looted about 12bn dollars from the public treasury, who determines how much of that loot is to be returned to the CBN? Is it the corruption czar or the thief that makes sych determination? Is the amount based on a sliding scale or what? Why is all of this process in secret and not open to public scrutiny esp since it is our common patrimony that has been violated? Exposing the names and actual amounts of recovered loot will serve as an indicator of the good work PMB is doing, as well as, uncover many more illicit wealth in the land and thereby, its recovery. #goodcausetospeakup
