Former President Obasanjo says those requesting for
him to account for all the recovered Abacha loots are stupid. According to the him,
the Abacha loot recovered when he served as president from 1999-2007 were
handed to the then Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria and so all questions about the recovered look should be directed at
them.
He said this in an interview with Vanguard over
the weekend
"They said the money recovered from Abacha, I should account for
it. What stupidity! The man who asked for it, the man who gave the judgement or
who answered them are all stupid, with due respect. I don’t keep account, all
Abacha loots were sent to Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and every bit of it was
reported to Minister of Finance. My job was to write where we can get help to
recover the money. Every penny that comes out of it went to CBN, so if they
want to know what happened to the money, they should call CBN governor or call
the Minister of Finance. But again, it shows ignorance, total ignorance, which
is lacking and you wonder, are these people educated? They can also approach
the man who helped us in recovering process to give the list of money recovered
and where he took it.” he said
