In a resolute and unyielding manner, former Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has unequivocally asserted that his administration operated with transparency and accountability, devoid of secrecy. Speaking at the launch of two significant publications, Buhari emphasized the ethos of his governance and underscored the paramount importance of being held accountable for public trust.
During his tenure, Buhari ardently maintained that his government meticulously avoided operating under a veil of secrecy. He expressed pride in upholding transparency and accountability throughout his two terms as President, recognizing that history and posterity would serve as the ultimate arbiters of his leadership.
The former President emphasized the conscientious record-keeping of his administration’s stewardship, cognizant of the inevitable requirement to justify the trust bestowed upon them. He lauded the meticulous efforts invested in documenting the history of his presidency, acknowledging the enduring significance of preserving this legacy for both current and future generations.
