The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called on President Bola Tinubu to launch an executive probe into the gross mismanagement of Nigeria’s economy during former President Buhari’s administration from 2015 to 2023.
The Group lamented the agony of Nigeria’s crumbling economy, saying it has reached untenable proportions.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, demanded an investigation into the reckless external borrowing, which failed to materialise into any visible projects for which the funds were intended.
“The time has come to officially launch an executive probe into the gross mismanagement of Nigeria’s economy during former President Buhari’s administration from 2015 to 2023. We demand an investigation into the reckless external borrowing, which failed to materialise into any visible projects for which the funds were intended.
“The monumental re-looting of recovered funds from corrupt individuals and corporate organisations, orchestrated by Buhari’s ministers, close aides, and family members, must be urgently addressed.
“The suffering endured by Ndigbo and the Nigerian people, in abject poverty and indescribable hardship, is a direct result of the incompetence of Buhari’s economic teams and the audacious re-looting of recovered assets.
“Former President Muhammadu Buhari, despite successfully securing the presidency on his fourth attempt, presided over what is widely regarded as the most corrupt, nepotistic, inefficient, and ineffective government in Nigerian history.
“Through his promotion of the Fulanization agenda and the empowerment of Myetti Allah, the quasi-apex group driving his divisive Fulanization ideology, Nigeria has been plunged into a state of agony and economic turmoil.
“The nation experienced a recession twice between 2015 and 2023, a direct consequence of Buhari’s woeful mismanagement of the Nigerian economy. It is with utmost urgency that Ndigbo and the Nigerian people call for an immediate comprehensive probe of Former President Buhari’s administration, one that goes beyond focusing solely on former CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, and his family.
“We demand the swift arrest and prosecution of Buhari’s ministers, close aides, service chiefs, family members, and associates.
“To prevent the further spread of economic hardship protests, temporarily halted by the just-concluded African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, President Tinubu must initiate an inescapable, all-encompassing probe of Buhari’s administration.
“Nigerians are left in disbelief as they witness how Buhari’s ministers, close aides, and family members have amassed unimaginable wealth, surpassing not only their states but even the combined wealth of all 36 Nigerian states. These individuals must be compelled to return all the “re-looted” funds, as this marks the crucial first step towards Nigeria’s economic recovery.
