Malami, who noted that corruption didn’t thrive under Buhari, stressed that the past administration recorded thousands of convictions related to high-profile corruption cases.
He disclosed this while featuring on Arise TV on Tuesday night.
Malami insisted that Buhari maintained a firm stance against corruption while in office.
According to Malami: “During the period of President Muhammadu Buhari, corruption was not thriving at all.
“If you talk of convictions associated with high-profile corruption cases, the government recorded convictions in thousands.”
Malami disclosed that $2 billion in looted funds was recovered during Buhari’s administration.
“He brought about the Single Treasury Account, which created a governance-wide visibility associated with funding the finances of the government,” Malami said.
