ReplyDeleteFighting corruption indeed. Mr. President are sure you are in the fight against corruption in this Nigeria? What tools do you have in place to check your success. Police at check points have turned to market women thereby issuing change to drivers on the way. Poor fighter of corruption. In 1983 it was possible when you the then Head of state was a military dictator. Today you surround yourself with men of questionable characters and they are the instrument to the fight of corruption. Why fooling yourself thinking Nigerians are babies. Fight against corruption is not to fight your political opponents with a tag " I am fighting corruption in Nigeria" You are fighting corruption NNPC fuel Marketers are diverting PMS to unknown destination other than where they are sent to yet no machinery to monitor them Mr. Corruption fighter. Affidavit of N500.00 is now N1500.00 due to unknown persons collecting their bit of the cake, yet we are fighting corruption. Look, APC and the central govt. get up and purify yourselves of corruption before thinking of eradicating it in Nigeria.
