Nigeria Witnessed It’s “Ugliest Phase” Of Corruption Under Buhari- Kukah
Matthew Hassan Kukah, Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, has stated that Nigeria witnessed the ugliest phase of corruption during the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The cleric made the comment on Monday in Ado Ekiti while delivering a lecture at the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the call to bar of the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Aare Afe Babalola, SAN.
The lecture was titled, ‘The future of constitutional democracy in Nigeria: Imperative of a new constitutional order’.
However, the cleric clarified that the trend didn’t start under Buhari, but maintained that corruption festered under the ex-President’s watch.
“We have seen the worst phase of corruption in Nigeria. Femi Falana, my friend here, will speak about that because he has published a series of articles talking about what happened under the Buhari administration.
“They were not the ones who caused corruption but I think in the last administration, we saw the ugliest phase of corruption whether in moral terms, financial terms, and other terms,” he said.
