So? Buhari Could Not Account For $2.8 billion As A Minister Of Petroleum? Since his exit from government, Buhari has been trying to project an image of himself as an honest, detribalised and incorruptible political leader deeply concerned about the deteriorating condition of life in the country. Unfortunately, over the years Buhari’s reputation has been sullied by inconsistencies and serious errors of judgment. To begin with, Buhari was minister of petroleum in the military regime of Olusegun Obasanjo. While he was still serving, it was reported that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) could not account for $2.8 billion that accrued to the federal government from crude oil sales. Since then, Buhari had been trying to explain away the scandal. explained, Mr. Douglas Anele. One would have expected Buhari, given his much talked about anti-corruption stance, to avail himself of the opportunity to state all he knew (and did not know) about the missing money, not the least because $2.8 billion is a gigantic sum that can make a positive difference in Nigeria’s economy. But as an unrepentant dictator he is, Buhari refused to appear before the famous Oputa Panel to address the matter conclusively. Buhari refused to appear before the panel simply because he has hidden a whopping $2.8 billion-sized skeleton in his cupboard. It is pertinent to note that up till now, Buhari is yet to give any satisfactory explanation of what transpired with the mouth watering $2.8 billion. It is therefore morally repulsive for any one to expect a stinking corrupt Buhari to be anything different. A grand-pa Buhari who has defended one of the world most corrupt leaders- Abacha, of not being corrupt. Buhari seems not to realise that, by associating closely with prominent people of questionable character, he is invariably telling Nigerians that, in terms of character, he is not so different from them. More so, Buhari has always basked in the unfortunate euphoria of detriblised leader, but, recall, When Buhari was chairman of PTF, more PTF projects were executed in the north than in the south; moreover, of the six geopolitical zones in the country, the south east geopolitical zone got the least number of projects. A detribalised Nigerian would not be so biased in distributing federal projects to favour his own region. also, A probe of the activities and accounts of the trust fund in 2000 revealed that billions of naira were stolen under Buhari’s watch. Grandpa General Muhammadu Buhari is everything Nigerians do no want in a national leader as he is not only massively corrupt, he is also a tribalist, a religious fanatic, a sectional leader and an ethnic Champion.
