He told The Sun in a recent interview:

“Tinubu is saddled with the task of resurrection of a dead or failed state. The worst mistake he will make is to create the impression that his is an offshoot of the Buhari administration.
“Doing so would amount to building on a shaky foundation and having to own the rot. He must chart a new course even though he is of the same APC party. He must probe and recover looted funds. Luckily, President Buhari had created precedence by his probe of the Jonathan administration and prosecution of some of its members.”
