The retired army officer made the claim during his speech at a conference organised by the National Youth Movement for rebuilding Nigeria, The Nation reported.

Al-Mustapha said:

“Some of our leaders were not only prone to patronage against the country, now some of them are partners in this distractive mission on Nigerians.

“Most of our leaders who have allowed themselves for patronage, in this destructive mission are doing so in leadership. There are some other things hidden by God Almighty that they do not know yet, and that is the point of happiness that we have."
