A former governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa Yuguda has said
Bola Tinubu will effectively tackle the issue of corruption if he is eventually
elected as President of Nigeria in 2023.
Yuguda bared his mind while appearing on Channels Television
programme, Sunrise Daily on Monday.
The former Minister of Aviation admitted that as a former
member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) he witnessed monumental corruption
during the party’s 16 years reign, which was inherited by the present
administration.
He criticised the government of President Muhammadu Buhari,
saying it failed woefully in its promise to fight corruption headlong despite
trying its best.
Speaking further, Yuguda, who is a chieftain of the APC,
said he was confident that with Tinubu at the helm of affairs, the problem of
corruption would be addressed.
“Corruption is an inherited problem and it is getting worse
whether we like it or not until Nigerians come to the reality that corruption
is killing us and it will kill us finally. Everybody is corrupt, I’m afraid.
“The government has not failed because that was what was
inherited. I was part of the previous government and I have seen corruption.
“This government came with the intention of fighting
corruption headlong but we don’t know the kind of landmines that were placed on
their way to be disabled.
“So, If they failed in addressing it, it is a question of we
tried and we failed. But corruption in Nigeria, I am assuring you is the
problem and if we don’t address it, it will end up ending Nigeria.
“We are very positive that the APC government of Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu will address the problem. Of course, I am very positive that he is
going to win.
“If Nigerians are wise, if you are there to appraise
somebody based on performance, among all the candidates you have, he is the
only person that has something to show for.
“Do you know Lagos today is a middle income economy? It is
no longer part of the Nigerian economy. Who made it possible? Is it not Tinubu?
Or are you going to deny him the credit of having set up structures? He laid
the foundation for the governors after him and he has the capacity to
headhunt,” he added.
