President Muhammadu Buhari is back in Nigeria after attending the conference on climate change holding in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Before leaving Morocco, the President held a meeting with the United States Secretary of State, Mr John Kerry, where he says that some Nigerians who had corruptly enriched themselves in the past are currently using the stolen funds to wage war against his administration.
He said that the situation has made his administration’s ongoing anti-corruption war “tough and grueling.”
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, says the President told the United States Secretary Of State that corruption was fighting vigorously back, but assured Kerry that the anti-graft war would be won.
President Buhari said corrupt people had accumulated a formidable arsenal of illicit wealth, which they were now deploying against the government on diverse fronts.
