ABUJA – HUMAN Rights activist and legal luminary, Femi Falana, SAN, has urged Nigerian labour unions to cease the fight against corruption from the government, alleging that the most corrupt people are found in government.


He has also called for a full probe of the alleged $500 million bribe involving a serving governor from the North, saying that the matter must not swept under the carpet.

Falana who stated this in his lecture at the 40th anniversary of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, in Abuja, with the theme “Dynamic Labour Leadership: Filling in the Economy”, stated that the Federal Government has no business to be borrowing money.

He said that Nigeria has become a joking stock in the international community borrowing money from countries when it could make 100 billion dollars if it could check Britain and the United States where the nation’s oil was discharged.

According to him,”We must go to the root of criminality on International level to recover our money. PENGASSAN should not leave the fight against corruption to government. No government in the world fight corruption genuinely. The most corrupt people are found in the government.

“We can cease the initiative of the fight against corruption,” he stated, adding that the fight against corruption should not be selective and restricted to a particular party.

He said, “It is important for the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, NUPENG and PENGASSAN to lead other Nigerians to ensure that we wage war against corruption that is impartial, fair and just.”

true

Falana your voice got lost in this wicked government. I am terribly disappointed in you

True talk. Tinubu, Orji kalu, Amaechi, etc inclusive

just want to point this out straight. with the news out as atiku representing the pdp in the next year presidential elections, the man has so much been castigated, his past, present and future rooted out like yam tuber and talks of how himself and his then principal obj plummeted 9ja to the very pitiable condition 9ja is in today, and of course these talks are mostly hawked like gala and lacasera by the apc remote control zombies.

I am not a hypocrite, there are elements of truths in how disastrous objs' administration was with atiku as his vice then, but this isn't even entirely true and of course 9ja's governmental disaster is very synonymous and conspicuous in this present administration.

the masses do not really love atiku, they just over hate buhari and this hatred has burned out to become love for anyone who's gonna be in contention with him (bubu), even if that opposition turns out to be a goat, but in this case, we have atiku.

a very duplicitous government, dropping excuses like atomic bomb every now and then and seeking solace for their very awful administrative failure with a pdp past administration we've longed forgotten.
if buhari so much love 9ja and wants her overall development, he should pave the way for other parties to try and see what they can come up with, but instead even with his bedridden, lifeless and of course bedevilled character, he's still standing as a bastardised frontier for the apc.

Spits and coughs on everyone and anyone who's gonna vote for a lifeless and buried administration again.

Including buhari the self righteous hypocritical saint.
He is creating poverty under the guise of fighting corruption.

"Atiku is a thief, Atiku is a thief . "

Even the Bible says the saviour will come like a thief in the night ...

So if atiku is a thief, what should we call buhari calibrate?

Buhari is an arm robber.....

Mr Falana, were you not there looking like a statue when you brothers lined up and voted the disaster in government. Your brother, a professor at law even stood behind a certified certificateless individual just to grab power.
Go tell this to the birds Mr Femi.

Always try to make sensible comment. Likes are useless; don't allow the abundance or lack of it thereof to take away your God-given common sense. If you have nothing germaine to contribute to a thread, simply come and read those who have. You mustn't comment on every thread.
Nigerians from every tribe and tongue voted in Buhari; so you and your co- travellers should stop that silly habit of always telling people from certain parts of the country not to criticise or condemn the actions of the government "because they voted in the govt", according to your jaundiced reasoning.

One thing u failed to understand is that this man has always spoken against all governments.
Why will u blame a man because his kinsmen voted for Buhari? Are u responsible for the decisions of your friends or kinsmen?

Most of u just come here to blame everyone daily which is unfair.

Please don't remove sentiments from ur comments abeg.
