The former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru
Bafarawa, who is one of the Nigerians standing trial in court
for alleged misappropriation of public funds has aired his
thoughts on corruption and the war against it which has
landed him in the trouble he currently is in. Bafarawa who
was recently detained for 21 days and later charged to court
by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
left many Nigerian surprised when he espoused President
Buhari’s anti-corruption war. At this instance,
INFORMATION NIGERIA brings you what Bafarawa had to
say about corruption…

– He said corruption has become a general thing and that 90
per cent of Nigerians are corrupt, starting from the
grassroot.

– The electorate are corrupt; the politicians are either
corrupt or forced to be corrupt because when they get to the
office they are elected for, their first concern is how to pay
the money back. Whether he borrowed from the bank or his
godfather will sponsor him is immaterial.

– He said it was common for a man who had nothing before
he became governor, to leave office having properties in
every city and the society would not probe to find how he
got the money to own the buildings he got while in office.

– He said if corruption is ignored, it is going to swallow the
country, therefore everyone must support Buhari in this
fight, as he (Buhari) isn’t fighting but warring against
corruption.

– For this administration to survive the fight against
corruption, he said it is just not about using EFCC or ICPC
but that government should open an office for public
awareness against corruption.

– According to him, before arresting people or taking any
prosecutorial steps, we better start with how to prevent
corruption instead of curing the ailment.
