Buhari didn't embezzle PTF Money -Obasanjo

            


During a visit of the APC Chieftain to ex-president Obasanjo at his hilltop mansion in Abeokuta this week,he pointed out that Gen Buhari who was the chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund did not steal  money from the Trust, he said,the report from investigation conducted cleared Buhari of any wrong doing.

He said,

 “When you were going to become the manager of PTF. We talked about it and when you finished and I took over, we looked into it.

“I haven’t said this publicly, I would say it publicly now. When we looked into it, there was really nothing amiss except that that organisation went from road building to mosquito net-buying and all sorts of things.


“And what the investigation discovered is a bit of inconsistency in prices and all that. In one area, mosquito net might have been given for N50; in another, N45. And I then remarked that this is fishy. We should look into it.

“And I called my brother and colleague (Buhari), I said see this and he said ‘look we are managing billions of Naira and I tried to make sure I see everything.But I will not say that what they have said about this is correct or not correct. But I can assure you, I tried to see everything.’

“I said okay Muhammadu, between me, you and God, was there any personal benefit for you? And you said ‘no.’ I said that is the end of the matter.

“Although there was that investigation, its report was not of any material importance.”
