President Buhari To Be Made AU's First Anti-Corruption Champion by hakanai(m): 11:35am On Jan 28, 2018
Buhari to champion anti-corruption campaign at AU summit:

President Muhammadu Buhari will Friday depart for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to participate in the 30th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, AU.

A press statement by his spokesperson, Femi Adesina, on Thursday says the highlight of the president’s engagements during the visit will be his statement under the historic theme for the AU Summit, namely: “Winning the Fight against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation.”

“This is the first time in the 54-year history of the AU that anti-corruption will be made a theme of the gathering of the regional leaders,” the statement said.

On July 4, 2017 during the 29th Session of the AU, African leaders unanimously endorsed Mr. Buhari to champion the fight against corruption on the continent.

“ The endorsement was in recognition of his personal commitment and widely acclaimed anti-graft drive at the domestic level,” Mr. Adesina said.

On July 25, 2017, the president in a letter to President Alpha Conde of Guinea, who is also the out-going AU Chairperson, formally accepted his nomination to lead members of the AU on this crucial crusade against a veritable socio-economic vice that is anti-development.

While thanking his colleagues for the honour, he reiterated his “commitment to contribute towards our collective efforts to strengthen good governance and development on the continent.”

Apart from anti-corruption, other issues lined for consideration by African leaders and their delegations include, peace and security (transnational terrorism); institutional reforms of the continental body; free movement of persons; climate change; trade; aviation; education; gender and development.

President Buhari will also hold bilateral meetings with some of his colleagues on issues of common interests.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Danbazau; the Minister of State (Aviation), Hadi Sirika; the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno; and the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu are in the president’s delegation to the Summit.

A leader that deserves credit shouldn't only relying on just one direction, if Buhari's government have performed well in fighting corruption, and along the way leaving certain things that need to be done like unemployment and in other way around the hyper economic status of the country then, I may said this government is in one way or the other putting this country in a serious disaster that if care is not taken, the future of this country would transfer back to our former colonists. The government that failed in providing employment to its youths, plus hyper and persistent economic situation, then believe me the quensequencies in prediction would if care is not taken produce terrorism that supersedes the current, that the country couldn't fit to takle. Buhari's government didn't deserve a credit from whatever angles.

I have always had this opinion that the African Union is a shitty and spineless body and it just confirmed itself to be the most useless organization for our continent when they appointed this ethnic cleanser to be a champ.
