What Buhari told Jonathan at Villa meeting

News reports said all President Muhammadu Buhari discussed with his predecessor, Dr Goodluck Jonathan was about the efforts of his government to recover looted funds.

According to TheNation online, former Head of State Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar facilitated the meeting under the aegis of 2015 Elections Peace Committee, following complaints by Jonathan that the President was not sticking to the peace accord they signed.

Jonathan also sought for understanding on alleged corrupt practices and mismanagement of funds under his administration, it was learnt.

According to the newspaper, Jonathan claimed during the discussion that he was hearing about some of the graft allegations against his government for the first time.

But Buhari was said to have insisted that all looted funds must be returned to the nation’s coffers.

He also restated his pledge that Jonathan had nothing to fear at all, according to a source who pleaded not to be named because of the “sensitivity” of the matter.
