Governor Oshiomhole of Edo State had last week disclosed to newsmen immediately after their return from the United States with President Muhammadu Buhari that a former minister during the immediate past government stole $6 billion.
The 53-year-old Emir of Kano and a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria made the statement when the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti Corruption Commission, led by its Executive Chairman Muhuyi Magaji, paid him a courtesy call at his palace on Wednesday July 29.
''It is disheartening to see that Nigeria is one of the countries in the world that are leading in corrupt practices,'' Sanusi told the visitors. ''Any country with this kind of embezzlement ($6 billion) that could absolutely make such country to collapse. We should understand that fighting against corruption is not only for government, we all need to put our hands on deck. But with the high sense of responsibility and responsible doggedness of our dear Buhari I am keenly optimistic that things will change for better. I am very hopeful that Mr. President will do everything possible to fight against corruption to a standstill.''
