Senate President Bukola Saraki
says the anti-corruption war of the President Muhammadu Buhari government “is
more of propaganda than reality”.
Saraki said this in an interview
with Channels TV on Wednesday.
The director-general of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign organisation said the
country has relapsed on its indices on corruption.
The senate president said if
Buhari is truly fighting corruption, he would have made sure that all those
found wanting around him are made to face the law.
“We go to the issue of
corruption. I believe that is more of propaganda than reality. Why do I say
that? Even by most of the world organisations, if you look at our indices in
corruption, we have gone back. And more importantly what examples are they
showing in the government and anybody in the government been prosecuted in the
public. None. Zero,” he said.
“If truly the president is
fighting corruption, I am baffled how a member of his government who they found
wanting, up till today, no charge, no prosecution.
“To me, once you can’t do that,
you lose the moral high ground to say that you are fighting corruption. You
must show that nobody is above the law. You must show that no matter how close
anybody is to you, you must take action and that’s not happening.”
Saraki said if the president is a
man of integrity, “he must take action.”
When asked if the Saraki dynasty
is strong, he said: “Very strong… you will see that when the result comes.”
