President Muhammadu Buhari says his government has found corruption more difficult to fight than insecurity.
Mr. Buhari spoke at a town hall meeting in Kano on the final day of his two-day visit to the state.
“The power of the corrupt Nigerians is so enormous but we are determined to deal with the situation headlong. This is as been adjudged by what is happening today on ground,” he said.
Responding to comments made at the town hall meeting, he said the democratic environment has made the fight against corruption even more difficult because of the power of corrupt Nigerians.
“As Head of State I arrested some corrupt politicians. But shortly after I was arrested after my government been truncated, all the houses that I confiscated were returned back to the owners,”
He said that was why in the current fight against corruption, “after confiscating properties from the corrupt Nigerians, we ordered that they should be sold and the money be deposited at the treasury.
“To show our seriousness in this fight today, among those being investigated was a high court judge whose house was searched and several foreign currencies were found and some international passports.”
President Buhari said the fight against corruption requires zeal, courage and full determination to succeed, saying his government has all these attributes to achieve the success.
On the war against insurgency, he said the success so far recorded is a victory for the entire nation, adding that already, the fight was tilting towards final victory.

“Let me say, while linking the war against insurgency vis a vis the issue of smuggling as being raised, we have a duty to keep sound relationship with our neighbours, a reason why I went to Chad and Cameroon immediately after assuming office.”
But in spite of continued smuggling, he said the ban on the importation of rice had been achieved by 90 per cent and that Nigerian farmers are the greatest beneficiaries of the ban

On their ways now

Which fight against corruption abi na fight against those who are not Apc members,those who did not support your election funding and those who did not support you.. Forget that thing joor you're a full time racist.

Useless government...

Poor understanding of corruption related issues and approach to winning.

Bad manager

Nigerians are not currupt the Nigerian justice system is currupt. If the justice system works fine you will not find any Nigerian wanted.

If the president can not make the justice system work fine for the poor and the rich, he himself is currupt and can’t fight curruption

Buhari is so confused and Nigerians has been made not to be able to to think.

d

Both you(buhari) has fought neither of the two successfully

I completely disagree. It is the Nigerian society that is corrupt.

Have you ever wondered why every sector of the country (whether public or private) is briddled with corruption? It's simple - "A corrupt society breeds corrupt individuals". A police officer is a product of society, same with a politician, a pastor, a judge, a lecturer, an artisan, etc. So, they are simply taking the Nigerianness in them into these jobs.
---
It is always convenient to lay the blame elsewhere - so, we don't look like we are part of the problem. It's easier to say "the police is corrupt, our leaders are corrupt, the NASS is corrupt, the judiciary is corrupt, NEPA is corrupt, lecturers are corrupt, APC, PDP, Northerners, etc. As long as we are pointing fingers to others, we feel innocent.

Truth is - You and I are the very foundation of the entire problem. We are inherently corrupt. We have even come to accept corruption as an economic necessity - no wonder we started a "Bring Back Corruption" campaign. Are we not ready to defend corruption just to spite a certain leader? - just like cutting the nose to spite the face....as if no be you go still get the wowo face last last.

How will corruption fight corruption? Buhari is corrupt himself.

Too late to complain...

Are you clean yourself?
A man that appoints well known corrupt people,lies about himself and actions on people he was fully aware of and approved can only fight corruption in his daydreams.

Why do Nigerians stop being corrupt soon as they cross over to the western world. Nigerians has been studied to be the best behaved outside their country. What does that tells you, the problem of curruption is not from common man on the street, It’s is the fault of the leaders who are currupt and failed to create an inclusive system of Government.

Maina

Buhari should reform our judicial system and it will be easier for him to fight corruption.

because they cross into a society where majority are not corrupt. But the Nigerians don't stop being corrupt. They only find it more difficult to find collaborators for corrupt actions.

Precisely! May God/Allah bless your soul.

Also, wonder why foreigners come to Nigeria and start being corrupt? It's because they cross into a society where the vast majority is corrupt, so they find collaborators everywhere.

Welcome to the reality... Now u know what GEJ was facing...

Corruption is very difficult to fight, but if we are serious about it we shall crush it completely.

Good morning

What about the seized Timpriye Silva's houses you returned to him when you came into office.

He is right after all... Bubu can easily call home his boko and fulani boiz to order since he instituted and equipped them...

On corruption, you cannot be corrupt and try to fight corruption...
