And on this day in 2015;Â Ijaw Youths Council called on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend his anti-corruption war to 1999 to cover the Obasanjo era so as to be taken seriously over his anti-corruption war.
The Ijaw youths, who are kinsmen of Jonathan, wondered why Buhari should skip the Obasanjo era and concentrate his probe on Jonathan’s administration, accusing him of having a hidden agenda against their son.
The National President of the IYC, Udengs Eradiri, who signed the statement said it was suspicious for Buhari to choose to probe only Jonathan’s administration and leave out Obasanjo.
