Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has disclosed that campaigns are being orchestrated against the anti-corruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Addressing labour leaders and civil society organisations at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday, Osinbajo said a bring-back-corruption campaign was being mounted in the social media.

“The social media campaign of bring-back-corruption is an orchestrated one. Nobody that is suffering can say bring back corruption. Attempts by those who are being tried for corruption to delay trials are also part of the orchestrated campaign,” he said.

According to him, “if we do not speak up against corrupt officials who make it look as if there is a witch-hunt, then we will not succeed in the fight. Government needs everybody to speak up.”

He described the fight against corruption as a serious battle for Buhari’s administration, saying “it is tough.”

The acting president told the labour leaders that “there is no way you will eat an omelette without breaking an egg. There is so much we can do with the Nigerian economy.”

He said the government was going to be consulting with the labour union and civil societies on its economic recovery and growth plan to be launched this month.

Earlier, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Ayuba Wabba said they equally wanted to see the war against corruption reach all levels of government.

if its not truly witch hunt, then u people are the ones making it look so.
I don't think people are against anti corruption fight but prosecution ur perceived enemies in the name of fighting against corruption and shielding ur 'friends' is also corruption. the babashir lawal's case and magu's are typical examples, even where is saraki's ccb and cct case (its been stylishly swept under the carpet). also neglecting court order is also corruption.
Again let's look at it this way - if u are living happily under the leadership of someone they call devil and u couldn't even eat 3 square meals under someone they call an angel, if it gets to a point where u can no longer bear it u can be forced to shout #bringbackmydevil.

You wanted continuity of corruption and you are complaining,
You are defending ineffectual buffoon for stealing and mismanaging 30tr naira in 5yrs,which put you into this suffering and you are complaining of a man that use his company to perform a task for as much as 200m naira.
You also defend saraki for all his corruption,and now you stil complaining,
Cant you see, you are confuse?
