African Leaders on Tuesday
unanimously endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari to champion the fight against
corruption in the African Union.
The endorsement came at the end
of the 29th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of AU in Addis Ababa.
President Buhari is expected to
lead the AU summit scheduled for 2018, entitled: “Winning the Fight Against
Corruption: Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation,’’
The body said the decision was in
recognition of the Buhari administration’s demonstrable commitment and glowing
success in the fight against corruption in Nigeria and globally.
Buhari is expected to provide
“exemplary and resourceful leadership by working closely with the other African
Leaders, the AU Commission and development partners to collectively fashion out
common programmes for Continent-wide application of the anti-corruption theme
in all member states of the union”.
His role will also involve a
number of diplomatic initiatives to sensitize and raise awareness of the
International Community on the dire consequences of corruption and the
collective strategies to defeat the challenge.
