On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu was encouraged by a chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the highest Igbo sociocultural group, to look into the government of his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Isiguzoro predicted that the investigation will prevent further decline in Nigeria’s economy.
The investigation, according to Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary General, must look into the careless foreign borrowing that, under Buhari’s administration, did not result in any projects that could be seen as concrete and observable.
“Urgent action required: Probe Buhari, Ministers, and close aides to save Nigeria’s agonizing economy” was the title of the statement he made.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization and the resolute voice of the Igbo boldly calls upon President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to summon the righteous resolve within him,” stated Isiguzoro, referring to the dire status of Nigeria’s economy.
“It’s time to formally launch an executive investigation into the gross mishandling of Nigeria’s economy under the administration of former President Buhari from 2015 to 2023.
Additionally, the investigation has to look into the massive re-looting of seized loot by Buhari’s ministers, close aides, and family members from dishonest people and business entities.
“The reckless re-looting of confiscated assets and the incompetence of Buhari’s economic teams are directly responsible for the utter poverty and unspeakable pain that Ndigbo and Nigerians as a whole have to bear.
“President Tinubu must launch an unavoidably thorough investigation of Buhari’s administration in order to stop the protests against economic hardship from spreading further after they were briefly stopped by the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Nigerians are shocked by the wealth that Buhari’s family members, close advisers, and ministers have amassed—money that exceeds state wealth and even eclipses the total wealth of all 36 states in the country.
“We need to force these people to return all of the loot that has been “re-looted,” as this is the first step toward Nigeria’s economic recovery.”
