President Buhari has revealed that the staggering sum of
over N500billion has been recovered by his administration thanks to the success
of the whistle blower policy.....
He said this during his Democracy Day speech
which aired at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday.
The president’s claim however contradicts those of his
finance minister, Kemi Adeosun and anti corruption chief, Ibrahim Magu. As at the end of March, Kemi Adeosun gave
N7.8 billion, $378 million and £27,800 as the total recovered through
whistle-blowing tips. A total of N143billion.
In November 2017, Mr Magu said the EFCC recovered N739
billion in two years. Earlier this year, he said his agency recovered N511
billion in 2017 alone. A media strategist for the APC, Ayo Akanji however says
there is no conflict in the figures recovered. He said: “The Ministry of
Finance and the EFCC have been making separate recoveries, but there will be
reconciliation soon.”
