"Government budgets were 100 per cent released without interference... 95 per cent of the ministers under Buhari should be in jail by now."Alwan Hassan, the APC chieftain making the claims on Channels TV.He claimed Buhari himself appeared aware of potential misconduct, once advising ministers to "keep their documents ready" for future accountability.Hassan acknowledged that a small percentage of officials were not involved in wrongdoing but insisted the era was marked by rampant abuse of power.
