What I’ll Like To Be Remembered For – Buhari …Says Won’t Loose Sleep Over Criticisms

President Muhammadu Buhari in an emotional statement on Friday said he would like to be remembered as a man who led the battle against corruption when he must have departed this world.

Apparently making reference to a comment by a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator from Ekiti, Olujimi Abiodun, who accused him of condoning corruption, President Buhari said such accusations are only but distractions

Olujimi had during the process of the confirmation of former River State governor Rotimi Amaechi as a minister of the Federal Republic said that said though Buhari’s government “is riding on a crest of no corruption, it is actually willing to condone it.”

But Buhari in a chat with journalists at New Delhi, capital of India, said such criticisms are meant to distract him.

He said if there is incriminating evidence against anyone who has “abused trust”, such person will be charged to court.

“I will not lose sleep over it (criticisms); I read it in the newspapers; I watch it on the television,” he said.

“Those that are not corrupt should encourage us to do more but those that are interested in the safety of those that have abused trust in the country will go any length, including bribing people to give false information.

“I am not being selective whoever is caught with documents incriminating him or her will be prosecuted in the court for Nigerians to know those who have abused trust.”

On how he likes to be remembered, Buhari said: “I want to remember by Nigerians as a genuine patriot who not only fought the civil war but fought corruption to standstill”.
