Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna Central Zone) has alleged that corrupt
Nigerians have in the last 16 years stashed $200 billion in Dubai. Sen.
Sani said this while speaking with newsmen in Kaduna yesterday January
25th
“Corrupt Nigerians have stashed unbelievable amount of monies in Dubai
alone in the name of estates acquisition, purchase of exotic houses and
business partnership in the last 16 years. Some have stashed raw cash.
This is why the US, and Europe are making conditions
for laundering of money into their countries very difficult. These
crooks have now found it conducive to use the Middle East and South East
Asia as their destinations. They use names of their cronies, family
members and friends to siphon public funds out of Nigeria. Some of them
are APC members, who had their political upbringing in the then ruling
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Sooner than later those who are parading
themselves as Buhari’s friends, but are corrupt, will be interrogated,
prosecuted because the President does not know friend or relation as far
as the fight against corruption is concerned. It was based on the
information on the quantity and quality of the assets of corrupt
Nigerians, that President Buhari had to sign that agreement with UAE at
Abu Dhabi. I can tell you that it was smart and patriotic move. Let me
advise the President to steer clear of hypocrites, because it is better
to live with an enemy than hypocrite because hypocrite derives joy from
stabbing one’s back. Over $200 billion Dollars are stashed away from
Nigeria to Dubai alone. This may the monies stolen since in the past 20
years. I am not talking about estates and bonds and other securities
bought with Nigeria stolen money. Buhari is going to recover all these
monies and assets with the help of UAE. If you notice now, since the
agreement, some of the corrupt persons are now rushing to Dubai to
effect changes in the ownerships of the ill-gotten assets. But, they are
just wasting their time. President Buhari needs the support of all
Nigerians to wipe out corruption from the country. The President is on
rescue mission. He needs our support. We cannot sit down idly and watch
people sabotaged Buhari, and I can tell you that since Buhari went to
Dubai, there were three attempts to sabotage Buhari’s government. The
first one was that they planted a story in newspapers that there was
crisis in Buhari’s government because he went to Dubai; The second one
was that they planted fake lists of Nigerians that have property in
Dubai, while we were waiting for the original list of those who have
houses in Dubai. And the third one was to sponsor foreign media to
discredit Buhari’s economic policies” he said
