Yar'Adua, Jonathan — FG
Fifty five top government officials and private businessmen
illicitly diverted roughly $7.5m (equivalent of N1.35trn at that time) to
themselves between 2006 and 2013 at the expense of ordinary Nigerians.
The chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against
Corruption (PACAC), Itse Sagay, citing a study, disclosed this at the State
House in Abuja Monday at conference on Promoting International Co-operation in
Combating Illicit Financial Flows and Enhancing Asset Recovery to Foster
Sustainable Development.
He said what was not revealed turned out to be far more mind
boggling, including trillions squandered in fuel subsidy scam, billion arms
purchase scam, hundreds of millions of dollars taken from the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation by the former minister to bribe election officials in
2015, the list goes on."
Olusegun Obasanjo, Late Umaru Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan
were the presidents withing the period.
