President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that his government’s war to rid the country of corruption has no bounds.
Speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday at a meeting with members of the diplomatic corps, Buhari said the anti-graft war would be total and relentless.
He said the elite were demanding that the federal government should only retrieve the stolen funds and let bygone be bygone.
However, Buhari said yesterday that because corruption in Nigeria was pervasive, it had become necessary for his government to wage a relentless war against it.
Otherwise, he added, it would be impossible to build a stable and prosperous Nigeria that would be at ease with itself.
“Building such a country will not be possible where corruption is pervasive ...So long as corruption holds centre stage in the affairs of Nigeria, the country will continue to suffer incalculable harm.
“You are witnesses to the preliminary findings that have emerged in the past few weeks from our investigations into corrupt practices in different sectors of Nigeria’s public service.
“I will leave no stone unturned in the effort to rid Nigeria of corruption. I must however, add that in doing this, we shall operate within the ambit of the law.
On foreign policy, he said Nigeria could not afford to be an island unto itself. “It is for this reason that the foreign policy vision which we are currently pursuing is anchored on meaningful engagement with our neighbours, the African continent and the world at large.”
