Numerous Nigerian political office holders and others will go to jail after inauguration of the incoming Buhari-led government as it bids to get to the root of the missing crude oil funds, Senator Olusola Adeyeye has revealed.
  
In a Vanguard interview, he said the amount missing from the Excess Crude Account would probably be more than the purported $20bn, as most agencies could not agree concerning the exact amount missing.

“ So, you keep hearing figures and you don’t know who to believe but I have good news, by the grace of God, on the 29th of May, a new government would be inaugurated in Nigeria.

“Nigerians overwhelmingly expect that new government to diligently, look at the books not with an eye to persecute anyone but to ensure that the resources of Nigeria are properly accounted for. I am confident that it will not be long before we begin to unravel this knotty issue of the revenues of Nigeria.

“The action that the new government should take on the controversial money should be exactly those which are already prescribed by the laws of the land. The constitution does not give room for retroactive legislation.

“There are good laws in Nigeria; there are laws against murder, kidnapping, and embezzlement. If funds have been embezzled, I pray to God that the law will take its proper course and people would be brought to book. That, there should be no sacred cow anywhere.”
