Former member of the House of Representatives, Dachung Bagos, has stated that some appointees of late Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, betrayed his trust, which has worsened the issue of corruption and transparency in Nigeria.

Naijaonpoint reports that Bagos stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, shortly after Buhari was laid to rest in Daura, Katsina State.

He expressed disappointment that those Buhari appointed to help run his administration and fight corruption, as well as ensure transparency, are currently facing anti-corruption issues.

Bagos noted that Buhari’s oversight in monitoring and evaluating his appointees posed a challenge during his administration.

He said, “Looking at an individual of the president, he was able to look at fetch out people that he supposedly assumed would help him run the administration.

“But you will now find out that, at the end of the day, the issue of anti-corruption the perception that we all held him in high esteem as a man of integrity, fighting corruption and ensuring transparency you will now find out today that some of the people that were part of his administration are today facing one or two anti-corruption issues.

“It shows that the trust that he bestowed on some of his appointees to help him run the government was betrayed by them. Today, the issue of corruption and transparency in Nigeria has worsened, despite the Treasury Single Account initiative he introduced to enhance transparency.

“So, it’s mixed feelings in two ways. Monitoring and evaluation of his appointees then was a very big challenge for him, knowing very well that he had trusted them with power.”
