President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday wrote a letter to Nigerians where he insisted that was the major problem of the country.
In the letter, he said, “As president, I have tried to judiciously exercise the trust vested corruption in me to combat the problems of corruption, insecurity and an inequitable economy. All are important. But amongst them, one stands above the others as both a cause and aggravator of the rest. It is, of course, corruption.
“A policy programme that does not have fighting corruption at its core is destined to fail. The battle against graft must be the base on which we secure the country, build our economy, provide decent infrastructure and educate the next generation.
This is the challenge of our generation: the variable on which our success as a nation shall be determined.”
The President also posited that corruption was a threat to the 2019 general elections.
Below are a few reactions to the letter:
@IamOluwa_som: “Mr. corruption fighter, why did you endorse Ganduje? Why did it take you so long to file charges against babachir lawal? Stop ranting. You have done your bit.
