FANI-KAYODE TO TINUBU: Buhari, his boys, move money faster than ATM on steroids
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and those around him of stealing and moving money faster than an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) on steroids.
He also said that if former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration won gold in corruption, that the present administration won platinum.
The former Aviation Minister was responding to the statement credited to a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu had while delivering a speech at an event in Abuja on Thursday said, “The prior government used the public treasury as a private hedge fund or a charity that limited its giving only to themselves. So much money grew feet and ran away faster than Usain Bolt ever could. That which could have been spent on national development was squandered in ways that would cause the devil to blush.”

But responding on his twitter handle, Fani-Kayode said, “If Jonathan’s administration won gold in corruption then Buhari’s must have won platinum. Baba Bubu and his boys steal and move money faster than an ATM machine on steroids. Worse still the blood and bodies of those they have murdered over the last 2 years has desecrated the land.”

Fani Kayode will never change, Nigerians don’t need him to exaggerate things for us, we all know previous government was corrupt and this administration is also corrupt, he should not spell out who has gold or platinum

If we’re to talk about corruption, Jonathan’s government and Buhari’s government are the same, they are both equal, just that the thieves in Jonatha’s regime were confident and stole proudly, but those in this Buhari’s government are lowkey, green snakes under green grass
