President Muhammadu Buhari said before the coming of his administration corruption was turning into culture in the country.

President Buhari said this at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving the Letter of Credence of the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. William Stuart Symington.

He said “The corruption we met at personal and institutional levels was unbelievable. Corruption was turning into a culture. After we came in, people started realising the truth.”

The president said his administration remains determined to continue investigations and prosecution of corrupt persons in the country as ‘‘Nigeria will either kill corruption or corruption will kill Nigeria in the long run.’’

He said the target of reversing the culture of corruption in Nigeria had received support from the citizens, with many realising, from the ongoing investigations and prosecutions, the depth of damage done by previous administrations.

Buhari said his administration was committed to realising the key priorities of securing the country, fighting corruption and salvaging the economy in spite of current challenges.

He noted that the security situation in the northeast had improved significantly following support in training of the military and supply of hardware after the G-7 meeting in Germany in 2015.

In his remarks, the U.S envoy said the interest in the well-being of Nigeria was of mutual benefit.

“We do it not only for Nigeria, but for ourselves. We did it because it was right for us and right for our people,’’ he stated.



He pledged to work hard to further strengthen the relationship between the U.S. and Nigeria, assuring that President-elect Donald Trump would also be interested in the well-being of Nigeria.

President Buhari also received Letter of Credence from the Moroccan Ambassador Mr. Moha Ouali Tagma, assuring him of Nigeria’s willingness to improve bilateral relations between both countries.

Lol.

Hmm... Nigerians are getting more disconnected with this government, the government is simply not carrying Nigerians along with their policies, we don't get briefed on what they intend to achieve by doing this or that, that is how issues, protest and unrest starts. Let the war against corruption be open and straightforward, let's see the direction with that, invest recovered funds in the economy to get us out of this economic quagmire

See Corruption talking about fighting corruption... The day you show your certificate or admit you have non that's the day I'll know that you're really ready to fight anything. I didn't even talk about the fact that you're surrounded by crooks

But bubu should extend his corruption fight to ppls like....... (if u re thinking abt the slayer of PDP in PH,,,,u re O,Y.O!! )
