Dare Buhari’s Anti-Corruption War, Face Consequences, FG Warns PDP, Others

Federal Government says the President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s anti-corruption war is still vibrant.

The government said those who felt it’s waning, especially leaders of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, should dare the law and bear the consequence.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

Mohammed said Nigerians had recently been inundated with allegations of monumental corruption in a number of government agencies, including the NDDC, NSITF, and the anti-corruption agency, EFCC.

He said, “Many, especially naysayers, have misinterpreted these developments as a sign that the administration’s fight against corruption is waning.

“In fact, the main opposition PDP has latched on to the developments to call for the resignation of Mr President, a call that is nothing but infantile!

“Let me state here and now that the fight against corruption, a cardinal programme of this administration, is alive and well.

“President Muhammadu Buhari, the African Union’s Anti-Corruption Champion, who also has an impeccable reputation globally, remains the driver of the fight and no one, not the least the PDP under whose watch Nigeria was looted dry, can taint his image or reverse the gains of the fight.

“Anyone who disagrees that the anti-corruption fight is alive and well is free to dare us.”
