In a pushback to the position of a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, former President Muhammadu Buhari, has said his administration saved Nigeria from corrupt undertones planted to expose the nation’s economy to collapse.
In a statement by Buhari’s former spokesman, Garba Shehu, who replied to Adoke, over cases involving Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID), Paris Club, and the Ajaokuta steel company, he said Buhari’s success in the fight against corruption was unprecedented.
According to him, Buhari’s administration inherited the contract and incidental judgement in the P&ID, adding that, the cases identified by Adoke originated from an administration that the former Attorney General was part of.
He said despite Saraki’s opposition to his appointment as Minister of Justice under former President Goodluck Jonathan, he and the ex-Kwara State governor had since become friends, describing Saraki as one of the emerging leaders of the country.
