The ex-governor made this assertion in an interview with Daily Trust TV’s Daily Politics programme. He was reacting to the corruption case that made him the first victim of the court ruling since the return of democracy in 1999.
Ngilari, who governed the North Eastern state briefly between October 2014 and May 2015, was convicted of corruption involving N166 million and sent to prison after leaving office.

“If I see N1bn now, I will faint. In fact, the good thing is that the greatest difficulty for a person who tries to be honest and righteous is that you gather so many enemies. Till tomorrow, I say it boldly without fear or favour, if you take the proceedings of the courts that arraigned me on a five-count charge, there is not one count of the five that said I took one naira or diverted one naira, not one."
CBN probe will expose cabals
Umar Dangiwa, a former military administrator of Kaduna, has claimed the ongoing probe of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) by Bola Tinubu would expose the alleged corruption that happened under the Muhammadu Buhari government.
In a recent interview, Dangiwa said the CBN’s probe would uncover how Buhari’s “cabals” allegedly enriched themselves.
The former military governor added that the immediate-past president could never feign ignorance of the “monumental financial fraud” that happened in the CBN because the Department of State Services (DSS) duly notified him.
