jonathan-buhariA statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina, made it clear that there is no agreement between President Buhari and ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, in which they agreed that the former president would not be probed.

Mr. Adesina further stated that the President does not dictate for the EFCC.

This is a full indication that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is free to investigate former President Goodluck Jonathan for corruption.

Another Presidential Spokesman, Shehu Garba, said the anti corruption war is not a witch hunt.

“One thing very clear from the way he has carried on with the war against corruption is that past officials of government have a window to return looted funds to avoid investigation and trials which may be drawn out and sometimes inimical to the exercise.

“People can help themselves and help the country without being noisy about anything.

“The President is aware that he is under watch, locally and internationally, in his handling of the war against corruption.

“Whatever international support he will get will depend on how open and effective his government is in carrying out the anti-graft war.
