Theophilus Danjuma, A former Minister of Defence, on Saturday urged the incoming government of president-elect Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to probe the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, according to The Nation newspaper.
”What we are hearing is that the treasury of the country is empty at the federal level,” Mr. Danjuma said in Takum, Taraba State, while commissioning two newly built bridges along the Takum-Katsina Ala road.
“I’m calling on the new administration to investigate what happened to our monies as soon as Buhari takes over power on May 29. With that, some of the stolen funds would be recovered.”
The former minister reportedly described Jonathan’s administration as a “very corrupt” one bequeathing over $60 billion debt burden to its successor.
