Nuhu Ribadu vs Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo
"Pioneer chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu allegedly described corruption under President Olusegun Obasanjo as worse than that of late General Sani Abacha, according to United States cable obtained by Wikileaks.
The report released by Wikileaks stated that a meeting which the former US Ambassador to Nigeria, Robin Sanders had with Mallam Ribadu to discuss his removal from the EFCC, Ribadu told the US ambassador that Obasanjo was good at covering his tracks while admitting that corruption was worse under Obasanjo. Ribadu was quoted as saying that former President Obasanjo knew how to play the game. “Although he created the EFCC and understood its importance for him with the international community, Ribadu explained, that by far and even more than the Abacha days, corruption under Obasanjo’s eight years was far worse." - Source - CORRUPTION: Obasanjo’s eight years worse than Abacha’s – Ribadu

BBC Report indicts Mallam Nuhu Ribadu

See extract from British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) report
"supporters of Mr Ribadu say he is going after those he is allowed to, while building up dossiers on others who, for now, are "protected". The latest and most serious contender to be scrutinised is Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who fell out publicly with the president when he opposed the campaign to allow Mr Obasanjo to run for a third term in office" - Source BBC NEWS:https://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/africa/5339030.stm
