President Muhammadu Buhari has said fighting corruption in a
democratic setting is a difficult task to accomplish.
Buhari in an interview on Arise Television said the war
against corruption has not been easy for him since he became a democratically
elected President.
He stressed that his administration had succeeded in easing
out corrupt public officials without making noise about it.
Buhari recalled that much was achieved in the fight against
corruption when he was military Head of State in the early 80s “when a lot of
people were sent to prisons before I was also booted out”.
Buhari frowned at the way and manner local government system
was being managed, saying the local government administration was almost
non-existent in the country.
He cited a situation where state governors continued to
starve the local governments of funds saying “in a situation where N300 million
is allocated to local government and they are given N100 million is not fair”.
