President Muhammadu Buhari has said that looters have began to repent of their actions as a result of his administration’s war against corruption. The President referred to the alleged looting $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of military hardware to fight insurgency by some public officials in the previous administration.
Speaking to the Northern Christian Leaders Eagles Eyes Forum at the State House, Abuja on Friday, Buhari thanked the Christian leaders for their support to the Federal Government’s anti-corruption campaign and other policies geared towards reviving the economy.
Buhari said, “It is saddening that some of those who stole from our national resources put the money in their personal accounts.
“However, it is gratifying that those who stole money and shared funds meant for the purchase of arms for our military are regretting their actions and they will regret more.
“Those caught in corruption will have themselves to blame.”
