The declarations are damning: Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III and Transparency International (TI) said in spite of the effort being made by President Muhammadu Buhari and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), cases of corruption were still very high in Nigeria.
Sultan said: “Corruption is at a very high level and its left for us to fight it to its terminal end.
We shall not just sit down and be thinking that things are okay, things are not okay. We have said it so many times but it is left for us to sit together and find out ways and means of getting things back on track in this blessed country.
"The snake issue has been such a humorous thing that cartoons are centred around it. It is humorous but it is a sad reality of our country. Where is our moral values? Somebody just gets up, takes government’s money and goes away and nobody challenges him?
Why do people do things with impunity?"
TI ranked Nigeria 148 out of 180 nations in its annual corruption perceptions index, showing that corruption has in fact grown worse in recent years in Nigeria.
It's time for the President to reconfigure his anti-corruption war priorities and strategies to achieve the desired results. #CorruptionMustStop
