President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday challenged the media and opposition parties to expose his wife, Aisha, or his son, Yusuf if they are found to have benefitted from government deals. The President issued the challenge during an interview aired on Arise TV on Monday night.
He described as unfair allegations that he was protecting some corrupt persons in his government while those in the opposition were being hounded.
“It is a very unfair allegation against my integrity. I don’t think… anyway you are in a position to find out and if you do so, I don’t care. Publish it even if my son or my wife has a company and they are involved in deals with customs and excise and so on, bringing in illegal goods or whatever, I challenge you to do that.”
Recently, the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused those around the President of fraudulently acquiring public and private national assets including Etisalat (9mobile) and Keystone Bank. The President had since ordered investigation into the matter.
