The National President of Arewa
Youth Forum, AYF, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu has said that President Muhammadu Buhari
has lost interest in fighting corruption.
According to Gujungu, the cases
of the Secretary-General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal and the
Director-General of Nigeria Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ayo Oke, clearly showed
that President Buhari has lost interest in the battle against corruption.
He noted that the vigour with
which the President started the war against graft is losing steam.
“Many people voted for this
government because of the personality of the President and I believe many of
them were not disappointed with the way the government started by hitting the
ground running in terms of its anti-corruption crusade,” he told Vanguard.
“However, the vigour with which
the President started the war on corruption seems to be losing steam.
“Maybe corruption is fighting
back. But President Buhari needs to keep up the steam because the fight is
losing steam.
“Take for example the case of the
suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, and
Director General of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, Amb Ayo Oke, who were
suspended since April this year and investigated by the Acting President and
the Attorney General of the Federation and the National Security Adviser.
“The report of the probe has
since been submitted to Buhari but he has continued to keep mute over it when
Nigerians are dying to see action taken against the officials.
“Unfortunately, as in other high
profile corruption cases, he has chosen to keep silence over the matter, which
is generating tension in the land.
“It is unfair and unhelpful to
the anti-corruption fight. The attitude of Mr. President gives the impression
that he has given up on the fight against corruption and this is quite
unfortunate to say the least.
“Buhari must know that many
Nigerians are not happy with his government’s response and handling of the
controversial issue. Nigerians need to be assured that the President is not
shielding his own people, those around him.
“They want to see him fight
corruption no matter whose ox is gored so as to win their support. That is the
only way to go”

Do you find out to know what was written in the report before asking for it's recommendation. We have corrupt judiciary and that is frustrating the anticorruption fight.
