Buhari is not probing Jonathan's government - Osinbajo

Nigerian vice president Yemi Osinbajo says that President Buhari's anti-corruption war is not about a probe of past government, but putting in place a mechanism that would check future looting of the treasury.

The 58-year-old Nigerian VP made this known at the funeral of Elizabeth Adesola Mamora, mother of former Lagos senator, Olorunmibe Mamora, held at First Baptist Church, Ijebu-Ife, Ogun State.

''It’s not about a probe of a past government, that’s not what this is about. We are talking about our future, we are saying that we must put in place a clear strategy going forward. Not just about ensuring that people are made to pay for looting the treasury, our system of justice must be fair to ensure that anybody who does anything that is wrong is brought to account. We can’t allow impunity to continue. So it’s not about the previous government, it’s about any form of impunity,'' he said.

The Buhari led-government had been accused of witch hunt after declaring it will limit its corruption probe to the immediate past Jonathan's government.
