Buhari Will Not Probe Obasanjo's Administration

According to the presidential spokesperson who said that Muhammadu Buhari will not extend his corruption probe to the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo.Buhari on numerous occasions vowed to prosecute corrupt officials of the past administration. He reaffirmed his commitment to punishing the guilty while speaking on Tuesday, July 21, in the course of his US visit.

Femi Adesina, the special adviser on media and public affairs to the president, explained that it would concern only the cabinet of Goodluck Jonathan.
He was quoted as saying by Premium Times:
“If you recall, that was already settled before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste time digging into the far past.
“The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”
Regarding Buhari’s decision to travel to the States with his son Yusuf, Adesina blasted the critics saying there was nothing wrong about the move.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with the president travelling with one of his sons. It is an acceptable and standard practice. He could go with up to four members of his family.
“Don’t forget that when former President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria while he was in office, he came with his daughter, Chelsea.
