President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, said the anti-corruption war of his administration was not negotiable.



He said it was a must for him to fight graft because that was one of the reasons he was elected.



According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the President spoke while receiving a former South African President, Thabo Mbeki, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.







Mbeki, who heads the African Union High-Level Panel on Illicit Flows from Africa, was in Nigeria to give Buhari, who is the current champion of AU Anti-Corruption Campaign, some updates.



The President said since his electoral promises to Nigerians included fighting corruption, he could not afford to let the people down.



He said, “For this administration, fighting corruption is non-negotiable. It is a must.



“We must fight corruption frontally because it’s one of the reasons we got elected.



“We campaigned on three fundamental issues: security, reviving the economy, and fight against corruption. It’s the reason we got elected, and we can’t afford to let our people down.”



Noting that the government was making progress on the anti-corruption war, “and not just talking,” the President said he was very pleased with the assignment the former South African President was carrying out for the African continent.



He submitted that when Africa was vigorous with the war against corruption, “we will eventually appeal to the conscience of the rest of the world.”



In his remarks, Mbeki said corruption was an African challenge that must be responded to, “as development challenges can only be met through the check of illicit financial flows.”







He said he was delighted that Buhari touched on the issue in most of his speeches, with the most recent being at the United Nations General Assembly last week.



“We are pleased with the way you take up the matter. Countries need the political will to stop the illicit flow. Nigeria has shown a good example.



“The more we are showing that we are acting as Africans, the easier to get the rest of the world to cooperate,” Mbeki said.

CROWNWEALTH019:
What's this idiat saying again

"Any person who is obsessed with proclaiming his “integrity” at the slightest opportunity but won’t investigate, much less fire, shady characters he has appointed to work with- and for- him can’t possibly be truly a person of integrity.

From PTF to The Buhari Organization (TBO), Buhari has consistently protected corrupt close aides from the consequences of their ethical and legal infractions.

This attitude of mollycoddling corrupt but loyal aides and appointees while pretending to be a man of “integrity” who is “fighting” corruption is getting worse by the day and indicates that, in spite of self-righteous declarations to the contrary, Buhari is himself morally indistinguishable from his crooked cronies.

It is impossible to deploy the resources of logic to argue that Buhari has integrity. He doesn’t. Well, unless integrity means something to Buhari supporters other than what it actually means in the English language

All i know is come fire, come brimstone , i will vote for Buhari 2019, God keep us alive

Buhari is doing what he can, however you can wash away the rot in the system for 16 years with 3 years , albeit 3 years of resistance from saboteurs and their sponsors


Is this not the same Nigeria where boko haram used to have field day with people's life ?

Where rustlers, herders and farmers used to clash almost everyday ?

where a politician and his son got 1 trillion subsidy payment whereas they had a non existent company ,home and office address ?

where somebody's wife has more than 1 trillion in fidelity bank, and the Piglet JoeSatan had the guts to take EFCC to court

Where Judges have millions of USD in their home vaults but can't account for the source when they got arrested

Where steel rolling was chopped to the ground and rail projects among other viable companies were at stand still ?


Nobody said fighting corruption would be easy , every attempt Buhari made, including special corruption court bills that'll ensure speedy trial was seized by NASS, instead they approved not too young to run, which translates to too broke to run

Many great philosophers around the world and even in Nigeria (Obafemi Awolowo) predicted Nigeria will be great when progressives take the helms of affairs , We are seeing the signs

We are not sentimental and we don't make decisions with emotions , therefore, Buhari has my vote one more time


FlatPod Jewus , the bastards of Israel can vote massively against Buhari if they want, their vote never counted before , it won't count now
