Former Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, has lauded the anti corruption fight by President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as a good omen.

The former Kano State governor, made this disclosure to newsmen in Sokoto on Monday.

Shekarau said: ” The efforts by the president to fight corruption in all its ramifications is good for Nigeria.

”Anybody, who gets any money fraudulently should be arrested, thoroughly investigated and prosecuted.
”I am a strong advocate of anti corruption fight, as I set up an anti corruption and public complaints commission in Kano State in 2005″.

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), however, cautioned against selective justice in the anti corruption war.

Shekarau further urged that ”nobody should be above the law in this direction; there should also be respect, adherence and respect for the rule of law.

”You are innocent until you are proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt,” the former minister added.

On security, Shekarau called for improved funding of the nation’s security agencies.

This, he noted, would ensure the provision of ultramodern weapons, logistics, training, retraining, as well as the need to improve their welfare.

On agriculture, the former governor called for the reintroduction of commodity boards in the country.

He said: ”This will add value to farming, boost food security and encourage farmers.

”Food security is next to nothing and any nation that fails to provide it remains weak and vulnerable”.

On politics, Shekarau said,”PDP will bounce back and reclaim its lost glory in 2019”.

Wailers will be confused. They will be like "you mean you are against corruption"?

PDP chieftains are always so statesman like. During PDP regime no APC member would have said such, it would have incurred instant dismissal from APC.

One of the fraudsters that ruined Gej presidency

Politicians are same across board

They are only concerned about their survival

They don't have party differences, religious or ethnic

The only enemy they have is the masses

The fight against corruption should be commended by all but when it is done without following procedures, lacks transparency e.t.c it becomes nothing other than a scam.

Although President Buhari's zeal to fight and curb corruption to a stand still hasn't yeild much fruitful result as many patriotic Nigerians has expected. . But I'm convinced he is on the right track. It's better to be late than never.
Note!!! I didn't join Nairaland to interchange abusive words with anyone. Please be diplomatic if you have any reasonable rebuttal to counter my opinion . #
