A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Benue State, Senator Joseph Waku, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Waku, who commended Buhari for the step he had taken in the last one year to fight corruption, explained that the anti-corruption war should have started with the Obasanjo administration.

He said, “All these corruption and privatisation sagas we are talking about today started from Obasanjo’s administration. I insist that Obasanjo administration be probed. Buhari should revoke all the FG assets that were privatised under President Obasanjo.”

Despite faulting the starting point of Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign, Waku gave it the thumbs up for its commitment.

“On the whole, I think this government is trying to sanitise the system for the younger generation and it is doing it gradually but well,” he said.

On the herdsmen-farmers crisis and recent killings, Waku urged the Federal Government to consider the option of ranching as a grazing route was outdated.

He said, “It is better for this country to make a law that ranching be legalise. I support Benue government on this and nothing more. Grazing route or reserve is no longer fashionable because the land has been overwhelmed with population.

Again, the kind of weapons being carry about by herdsmen are highly sophisticated and not trusted. I think Government should come out and issue a statement that any herdsmen caught with weapons be arrested and prosecuted. If you go to Brazil and Argentina you will not see cows roaming about and their cows are better.”

This is what clear headed and sane Nigerians have been saying but mad zombies call them wailers. There should be systematic investigation of the entire PDP democratic reign since all we hear is 16 years of rot by the PDP and how Mr President is not expected to fix it all in one year.

Before anyone proposes a cure u need to understand the malady and trace its roots. Since they make it seem like Nigeria was El-dorado until 1999, it's only logical that u start from there to check things out while making sure other sectors are up and effectively running for development n benefit of the masses.

We no go die for only corruption fight because it's of no use if it does not manifest in improved standard of life for the common man.
