AU unanimously adopts Buhari to spearhead anti-corruption crusade in Africa


The anti-corruption credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari have again been highlighted with the unanimous decision of the African Union Advisory Board on Corruption, AUABC, to adopt him to play a leading role in efforts to rid Africa of corruption. This was disclosed in Lagos on Thursday by a board member of AUABC, Isa Ozi Salami, during the formal launch of Nigeria’s foremost association of publishers of online newspapers, the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers, GOCOP. Noting that Buhari emerged the continent’s preferred leader to lead a vigorous anti-corruption war during the last AUABC meeting held in Arusha, Tanzania, Salami said, “President Muhammadu Buhari was the person we unanimously endorsed for that purpose.” Salami, who was last year elected into the board of AUABC, is also a member of the board of Nigeria’s Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, and represented the ICPC Chairman, Ekpo Nta at the GOCOP launch. According to him, “At the second meeting of the board of AUABC in Arusha, Tanzania, the headquarters of the board, we resolved that on corruption in Africa, we needed to adopt a champion for salvaging the continent from the evils of corruption.” The AU official pointed out that the endorsement of President Buhari for such important continent-wide campaign had far reaching implications, which among other things, showed that Africa was beginning to reckon with the Nigerian leader in his renewed fight against corruption in his own country. He also said the endorsement of the President showed that Nigeria was again returning to her leadership position on the continent. “It means that Africa is beginning to give Nigeria its right leadership status and respecting Nigeria for the efforts our new leadership on anti graft crusade,” Salami stated. The African Union Advisory Board on Corruption is an autonomous organ established within the African Union, AU, in line with Article 22 of the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption. The main mandate of the Board is to promote and encourage the adoption of measures and actions by State Parties to prevent, detect, punish and eradicate corruption and related offences in Africa as well as to follow-up on the application of those measures and submit a report to the Executive Council on a regular basis on the progress made by each State Party in complying with the provisions of the Convention.

"Clueless African Union leaders made up of dumb sit-tight rulers and dictators. They don't know any better than believe that a corrupt coup leader and a tribalist like Buhari is genuinely working for one Nigeria. They don't know who Buhari is and they don't know what is happening in Nigeria."

I PERSONALLY COULDNT AGREE MORE. HOW CAN THESE DULL MINDED AFRICAN LEADERS CHOOSE A FULANI TO SOLVE AFRICA CORRUPTION, WHEN HE IS FROM A TERRORIST TRIBE.

THESE DUMB SUBSAHARAN PRESIDENTS HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE FULLANIS HAVE KILLED PILLAGED AND ENSLAVED JUST TO ASSERT A VALLIDITY CLAIM TO A LAND THEY ARE NOMADS TO..HOW THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN EXTRACTING SLAVES AND DISRUPTING ALL ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES, RENDERING WEST AFRICA INANIMATE AND USELESS FOR CENTURIES.

ALL OF THIS THEY HAVE DONE IN THE NAME OF THEIR JIHAD....AN ARAB COLONIZING AGENDA. DO THEY NOT KNOW OF THE FULANI RELATIONSHIPS TO THE WHITE ARABS

THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO IS A PERFECT EXPLANATION OF THAT RELATIONSHIP:
