Former Military President Ibrahim Babangida has faulted the perception that he is corrupt.
He challenged anybody with proof of corruption during his 1985 – 1993 regime to come forward with them.
Gen. Babangida said members of his government are angels compared with what he is reading in the newspapers about what is going on now.
He requested any Nigerian with a shred of corruption against him to release the facts to the public.
Gen. Babangida made the clarifications in an interview with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s press crew for the agency’s in-house magazine, “Zero tolerance.”
The EFCC released the transcript of the interview to reporters in Abuja yesterday.
He said: “Let me tell you something, maybe you have a hand in it. I have been the most investigated President Nigeria has ever had. By now, somebody should have come forward to say here it is.
“Every government that came after me investigated me because of that perception as they wanted to retrieve the billions I stole.”
He said he and those who served in his administration were saints and angels going by the level of corruption in the country.
“I don’t have the facts but if what I read in the newspapers is currently what is happening then I think we were angels”
