I’m a Saint –Babangida Speaks on Corruption in Nigeria - Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd), former military President has declared himself fit for sainthood because corruption in present day Nigeria is higher than corruption during his regime. Babangida made the declaration in the latest edition of the Economic and Financial Crimes quarterly magazine, Zero Tolerance, a copy of which was obtained by VANGUARD. Babangida said, Maybe I have to accept that but anybody with a sense of fairness has no option but to call us saints. I give you an example, in a year; I was making less than $7 billion in oil revenue but in the same period there were governments that were making between $200 billion and $300 billion. With $7 billion, I did the best I could but with $200 billion there is still a lot to be achieved. I don’t have all the facts but if what I read in the papers is what is currently happening, then I think we were saints.
