Anti-graft war: Buhari ready to step on toes – Presidency
[/size]

President Muhammadu Buhari is ready to step on big toes in the ongoing anti-corruption campaign in the country, the Presidency said on Friday.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, stated this at the opening of a three-day workshop organised for State House correspondents in Kaduna.

The workshop which is organized by the Presidency is titled: “Journalism and the change mantra, State House in focus.”

Shehu urged the press to help the government win the ongoing war against corruption.

He said, “President Buhari has embarked on an anti-corruption campaign that is bound to offend many. Big toes will be stepped on, personal interests will be cast aside. As the popular saying goes, when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.

“Yes, anti-corruption is a war. And the press can help President Muhammadu Buhari to win that war. You are one of the government’s most lethal weapons in this battle against the forces that aim to pull down Nigeria.

“The power of the media, if they have any power at all lies in their ability to expose wrong-doing. This power of exposure is a far more effective deterrent in many countries, including our own, than the court systems that deliver judgment and not necessarily justice.

“If they know that that they will be exposed, many crimes will not happen and herein lies the challenge of the media under Buhari’s administration.

“Use your power to expose wrong-doing, the days of impunity are gone. This is the best way to help the change, now that we have a government with the will and capacity to right all wrongs. But ensure accuracy and the sanctity of the truth.”

I would love someone to help me asks this man if he is sure of what he is saying.
For me I have lost my peace with him already. The Military, The Nigerian Police Force and other laws enforcement agencies within the Nigerian territory are still into their usual N50, N100, N200 extortions on the our roads. A trend I felt should end by now, looking at the seriousness with which PMB and co promised us CHANGE during campaigns.
@Meriekriss I have a lot to say. But I must drop them once at a time.

It is only in Nigeria, under Goodluck Jonathan that billions of naira will be given out through the office of an NSA for 'spiritual' purposes...Soldiers die everyday, people loose homes n loved one everyday in the NE, n yet the money meant for weapons was siphoned into pockets of hopeless n greedy politicians..Is ONSA an arm of the PDP? Why is it that it was the ONSA that was responsible for paying Dokpesi 2.1 billion for PDP's campaign?...Why did the NSA give Barafarawa over 4billion for 'spiritual purposes' abi na spirits de fight BH?...People who wanted Jonathan to come back to power were people who wanted to cover their tracks n a few stupiid masses who r blinded by tribalism n religion......PMB step on any motherfuckka who stole our money..Majority of Nigerians r solidly behind you...

God bless Nigeria

But toes are of different sizes. I guess Amaechi, Fashola Kwankwasso and other APC stalwart's toes are bigger than those of Deziani, Dokpesi, Dasuki and other opposition elements. Hypocrisy at its best.

Bitter truth

Stop this campaign of calumny against Jonathan. Nobody says corruption should not be fought but let's us desist from politicking in the name of fighting corruption. The funds allocated to the office of NSA were not meant solely for Arms Purchase or fight against insurgency. Aside national security the NSA performs other functions as assigned by the president. Let Amaechi, Fashola, Aregbesola, Kwankwasso, Ajimobi and other APC governors swear if all their security votes were spent entirely on protection of lives and property. Part of APC State governors' Security votes were spent on Buhari's campaigns .The president is only playing to the gallery.

topeayan:
U always display your ignorance publicly. What stop Jonathan from probing his predecessors? Bloody Tanoid

I laugh but not at you, but at your thinking!!! How I wish you exhausted your alternatives before choosing that thinking model you just exhibited.

I have supported and loved "PMB before I was born" and I am not ready to stop doing that. I have always pitched my tent with the opposition before I was conceived.
So on what bases did come to the 'black' conclusion that I am a bloody Tanoid

I demand for no apology!!! I rather pray that you desist from the ugly practice of calling people WAILERS OR TANOIDS just because once in a while, they decided to eco their views in an objective and unbiased manner, which may not always be in tandem with your expectations.

Am not the type of follower that sings praises for my Mentors even when I know am not in tune with what they display.

Have a good day and God bless Nigeria.
