There are strong indications the former FCT minister under President Jonathan may be facing some challenges since the anti-corruption crusade of President Buhari finally came to force.

This followed unconfirmed source that the former Minister is said to have refunded the sum of N7 billion to President Buhari in a bid to escape from President Sledge hammer against corrupt people.

It was confided that the sum is part of N15 billion contracts allegedly awarded during former President Jonathan’s tenure but did not execute the contract after collecting some percentage.

This development it was gathered was done to clear the ex-minister against any move by Buhari towards arresting him as corrupt officials in the country are being quizzed.

It could be recalled that Buhari had promised to treat those who return looted funds to government coffer with mercy as he promise to give them soft landing if they return their loot back to the country.

    • It is not enough to return a fraction of what the man has stolen during his tenure as Minister of FCT. This is a man that condescend to the level of employing a Lebanese crook to front for him in the sale of lands that belong to all Nigerians. I think the current administration should conduct a forensic audit of his tenure and that of his immediate predecessor and hold them accountable for the many grafts in Abuja land administration.

  • Pmb, is making us proud to burst in the world as a nigerian, fighting corruption and corrupt individual is most kudo's to Pmb administration.
