President Buhari says he never lost sleep over comments by some people accusing him of being selective in his fight against corruption.
The President said this while fielding questions from pressmen in India where he is attending the 3rd Summit of the India-Africa Forum

"I cannot tell you by heart how much we have recovered. For those who are saying I am being selective, if they were not involved in corruption, they wouldn't mind. They will even encourage us to get whoever has compromised his position in the trust giving to him.

So I see it in the papers, I watch it on the screen, but I have never lost a sleep on it because those that are not corrupt should only encourage us to even do more. For those that are interested in the safety of those that have abuse trust in the country will go to any length including bribing people to give false information. Whoever is caught, the documents that incriminates him or her will be taken to the courts to prosecute him for Nigerians to know who abused trust"he said

Asked if there will be an extension in time limit if the military fails to destroy Boko Haram by December this year, he said
"The main objective is to get rid of boko haram. Whether it is within the time limit we give to the military or outside it, we will maintain and focus on our objective.
We will support them. Normally I am an optimistic person. Those that have already given up, I am sorry for them but I remain confident that our military and other law enforcement agencies are more than equal to Boko haram"he said
Reacting to the row about Amaechi's confirmation in the senate, he said

"This is a team work. I say I know people but there are people I accept from other people in our team that I trust without even knowing them. Maybe the ones that had problems in the national assembly, I doubt if I ever met them in my life. I didn't walk into the presidency alone. I have to depend on all the three tiers of government, from all parts of the country. We cannot walk outside the constitution which says that there must be a cabinet representative from each state.

There used to be 42 ministers. I I think we will be lucky if we can have half of that now because we cannot afford it. Others may not be substantive ministers but they will sit in the cabinet because that is what the constitution says and we cannot operate outside the constitution".
On whether he will be reducing the number of ministries, he said "Of course"

On what he will want to be remembered for, Buhari said "If we survive it, I want to be remembered that Nigerians found out that I was genuine, I was a real patriot . Not only that I fought the civil war, I also fought corruption to a standstill" he said

Since most of your acolytes don't read or even comprehend when they manage to do so, there is no point arguing with you.

They are so miserable that the only sense of miniscule joy available to them is reading the hateful comments of their co-travellers..

Sucks to be them but as I will always say, PMB will continue to stomp on them on his way to glory!!!

Its dt a quality of a good leader selecting people from the opposition party and crucifying them whereas Ameachi has just be confirmed as a minister. Baba stinking body language

OP. I just want to say you guys are making big fools of yourselves and your tribe when you disgrace yourselves shamelessly in this manner.
Traditional Ibo society has no tolerance for corruption. This attitude of Ibos youths turning themselves into pussy for an Ijaw man of another generation who was clearly corrupt is a disgrace. Please read through what Buhari said and with all the honour of your tribe and your 'Biafra" whether Buhari said he will be selectI've or not.

Buhari also said a lot of people you guys are defending have been returning money. Please is it something about our black skin or just the Nigerian weather that makes people cowardly before the truth or is the inferiority complex for Hausa Fulani ravaging all areas of the social psyche of you people that cheap lies are now acceptable.

the best thing I saw was If we survive it, I want Nigerians to know am a patriot and I fought corruption to a stand still.
To all wailers, the meaning of that statement is that Baba is prepared to die doing the right thing to make Nigeria great, if you are not ready to die wailing, I'll advise you quit and join the development team(not Apc). Stay where you are but criticize with sense.
