President Muhammadu Buhari
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern at the huge amount of foreign currency flooding the country intended to influence the general elections beginning on Saturday.
According to a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), the President raised the alarm during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting Wednesday.
The statement said that the President accused some politicians of flouting money laundering regulations in their desperate bid to capture political power.

President Buhari, however, commended the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for successfully tracking the money in “millions of United States dollars.”
According to the statement, the EFCC success followed the presidential directive to investigative agencies to probe a number of high profile cases.
It said while reassuring the nation of his administration’s determination to wage a relentless war against money laundering and terrorist financing, the President again appealed to Nigerians, especially politicians to place the interest of the country above all others, as they troop out to cast their votes in the coming elections.
