The #BuhariGate scandal!

For those who may not know, #BuhariGate refers to a major political scandal that rocked Nigeria in 2015, involving the then-President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration.

Here's a brief summary:

In 2015, a series of leaked documents and audio recordings emerged, allegedly showing that President Buhari and his team had been involved in corrupt activities, including embezzlement of funds meant for the country's military and security agencies.

The scandal centered around the alleged diversion of $2.1 billion meant for the procurement of arms and equipment for the Nigerian military, as well as the misappropriation of funds meant for the National Security Adviser (NSA).

The leaked documents and recordings implicated several high-ranking officials, including the then-NSA, Sambo Dasuki, and the then-Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro.

The scandal led to widespread outrage and calls for President Buhari's resignation. However, the President denied any wrongdoing and launched an investigation into the allegations.

The investigation, led by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), resulted in the arrest and prosecution of several individuals, including Dasuki and Obanikoro.

While the scandal led to significant political fallout, it also highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in Nigerian politics.

To this day, #BuhariGate remains a significant political controversy in Nigeria, with many still calling for justice and accountability for those involved.
