why will they fight corruption when their clueless and tyrant leaders buhari, Tinubu and Co are heavily corrupt to withstand. I'm asking when is Efcc investigating Aregbese that drawn the economy of osun state? when is Efcc and icpc investigating him. Buhari's a clueless fraudster that will never investigate his party members.

Femi Falana is delusional, nobody is fighting corruption yet because personalizing EFCC or ICPC to suit ur personal needs and agenda isn’t fighting corruption if we must be honest.

He didn't say kano gov is fighting corruption. He says Kano state and I agreed with him on this one because if not for the fight against corruption in Kano me and you wouldn't know that Ganduje is corrupt.

The human rights activist and lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, has accused the state governments, especially those being controlled by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), of insincerity in the fight against corruption in the country.

He said that was why none of them (except Kano State) out of the 20 states being controlled by the party, constituted a formal structure to fight corruption.

Falana stated this, on Tuesday, in Kano, while delivering a keynote paper at a two-day stakeholders’ dialogue on corruption in Nigeria.

The programme, organised by the ActionAid Nigeria, with the theme: “Enhancing Citizens’ Effective Participation in the Fight Against Corruption,” has representatives from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission(ICPC), National Orientation Agency and so forth, as discussants.

According to Falana, only Kano State among all the 20 APC controlled states and indeed in the entire country that has been able to establish Anti- Corruption Commission as an agency to fight corruption at the state level.

“But if we are to fight corruption effectively as a country, the job shouldn’t be only that of the Federal Government, ” he said. “Even at the federal level too, Federal Government has too much control over EFCC and ICPC such that they are selective in their probes.”

Falana however, believes that even at that, what government would need to be more concerned about is wealth creation rather than pursuing corruption here and there.

He also asked Federal Government to give at least N1 billion each from the N606 billion recovered through the whistleblowing policy and other looted funds to every local government council for development purposes.

He said Nigeria real problem started with the introduction of the Structural Adjustment Programme by the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida in 1986 when public assets were sold to wealthy individuals who he said had no interest of the masses at hearts.

He, however, urged citizens to start demanding for their rights as enshrined in the constitution from public office holders rather than folding their hands watching, saying that is the only way to cause real development in the country.

Earlier, the Chairman, Kano State Public Complaint and anti- Corruption Commission, Malam Magaji Rimingado, on a sideline, said, his led agency is only awaiting the police findings on the recent case of Gorila swallowed N6.8 million and that of robbery incident at the state zoological garden.

He said once the police concluded their investigations on a case of robbery at the place, the agency would find out why such huge amount of money should be kept in the zoo when it is not a bank and ensured it gets to the root of the matter.

On why his led commission spared the state governor, Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje , from investigation and possible prosecution over an alleged bribery collection from state contractors, he said apart from the fact that governor had immunity covering him from such action, the commission was not carried along by the journalists who investigated the governor.

On her part, country’s director, ActionAid, Nigeria, Mrs Ene Obi, said the issue of corruption in government circle and also in private sector was not only disturbing but increasingly killing us to death as a country.

She said corruption had distorted competition and trade, reduced investments and slowed development, widened economic and social inequalities, heightened injustice and insecurity and that it was high time for citizens to rise up and demanded accountability, especially from the public office holders across tiers of government.

you are ignorant of what you are saying here, that's why tyrant buhari doesn't bother to do the needful for this country. just keep on living in your deluded state of mind. as far as am concern, Buhari's a clueless tyrant that will never change for good. your ignorance here is beyond redemption.

I was one of those who thought that APC could bring some change.

Shamefully, the party is as selfish and self-centred as others.

Highly corrupt and grossly inefficient embassies around the world - No comment!

Nigerians find it difficult to get visas and even as difficult to get the passports of their own country - No comment!

Government agencies accross board alleged to be demanding for incentives before carrying out their official duties - No comment!

LASTMA handed powers to impound people's vehicles because they want to collect money for road-worthiness on vehicles that they dont even know if they exist - No comment!

Companies paying suffocating taxes - No comment!

Roads to Apapa port still have gridlocks despite executive orders - No comment!

Towns taken over by BH and BH now collecting taxes and providing services as alleged - No comment!

Weeks after swearing in ceremony, no ministers announced - No comment!

Killer herdsmen alleged to have invaded forests around the country - No comment.

Can you just imagine what is coming out from the mouth of a SENIOR ADVOCATE OF NIGERIA!!
See Baba Falz talking from both corners of his mouth!

In one breath 'what government would need to be more concerned about is wealth creation rather than pursuing corruption here and there'.

In another breath ' Falana also asked Federal Government to give at least N1 billion each from the N606 billion recovered through the looted funds to every local government'!!

So how will they see the money to share in the first place if they should not fight corruption or stop pursuing corruption in his own words?!

Some old men dey fall hands for dis our nation sha!
#Confused!!

You simply should have said you your small brain can't understand what he was saying and someone would have explained it to you. What did you rather do? You choose to be critical and like every other buhari minion we battle here everyday exposed your flawless foolishness!

Go read books son... Take a time off politics focus on your barbecue business while you do a soul search!

Is only Kano that constituted formal structure to fight corruption, Falana said.
But she is not fighting corruption but headquarters of corruption herself. Gandollar himself.

They should do follow up if their petition hold water because EFCC will call them to defend their petition, if it lacks substance, their petition will be ignored.

That was how former chairman of my LG in Osun was sent to prison by EFCC a year ago, a petition was written,the petition keeps reminding EFCC on it,the petitioner was eventually called up to defend it,and EFCC acted on it,the useless former chairman was still serving jail terms in Ife prison right now

NOTE:the petition was not a useless petition written by political foe forming civil society group with baseless issue ,everyone in my LG believe if the EFCC acted on the petition, we knew there was no escaping for the man.

most of this group has been reminding Efcc but buhari their godfather won't allow Efcc to investigate his croonies in Nigeria. the likes of Ajimobi, Aregbesola, ex Zamfara State governor ET AL are his friends and he's busy shielding them.
