An elder statesman and former governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa says President Muhammadu Buhari has not learnt from the experience he gained between 1983 and 1985 as head of state in his tactics to fight corruption in the country.

Musa stated this on Tuesday while fielding questions from journalists in response to the President’s claim that he was overthrown and jailed for three years for fighting corruption.

He maintained that the anti-corruption crusade of Buhari’s administration has not adopted effective measures towards tackling corruption in the country.

Balarabe said: “I agree that it was corruption that sent him out of power in 1985. But the problems is that why is President Buhari allowing corruption to fight him back in this present government?

“Why is he not adopting effective measures to tackle corruption in his present government? The president seemed not to put the experience from his first government into use in dealing with corruption now.

“In spite of the experience he gained between 1983 and 1985, you expect him to do better and not allow corruption again to lead to his removal, but we have not seen this.”
