The US Secretary of State, John Kerry has
pledged American support for the Buhari
administration and other governments across the
world in the fight against the scourge of
corruption.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Kerry stated “corruption complicates every single
security, diplomatic, and social initiative we
undertake.”

“We have to acknowledge in all quarters of
leadership that the plagues of violent extremism,
greed, lust for power, and sectarian exploitation
often find their nourishment where governments
are fragile and leaders are incompetent or
dishonest,” Kerry said in a keynote address to the
forum.

“It has been reported that over 50 people
including government officials stole over $9billion
in Nigeria.

“The fact is there is nothing, absolutely nothing,
more demoralizing and disempowering to any
citizen of any nation than the belief the system is
rigged against them and that people in positions
of power are — to use a diplomatic term of art —
crooks who are stealing the future of their own
people; and by the way, depositing their ill-gotten
gains in ostensibly legitimate financial institutions
around the world,” Kerry said.

“The bottom line is that it’s everybody’s
responsibility to condemn and expose corruption,
to hold perpetrators accountable, and to replace a
culture of corruption,” Kerry said.

“Never forget: the impact of corruption touches
everyone,” he said. “We all pay for it. So we have
to wage this fight collectively — not reluctantly,
but wholeheartedly by embracing standards that
make corruption the exception, not the norm.”

If only the probe and media trials is not for distraction purpose, I would have supported it fully. Apart from APC distracting Nigerians with it the war is one sided.
