The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari administration is the best in post-independence Nigeria.

MURIC in a statement on Tuesday, by it director, Ishaq Akintola, said corrupt elements in society have also been fighting tooth and nail to frustrate the efforts Buhari.

Adjudging Buhari’s government as being transparent, the group said the government helped clear accumulated arrears of workers salaries and pensions running into billions of naira, and also ensured that Biafran veterans were paid off.

According to him, Buhari has been fighting corruption since 1983 when he had a stint as a military head of state.

“We adjudge the Buhari administration as the best in post-independence Nigeria. Everyone agrees that corruption is the bane of Nigeria’s development. All other factors are peripheral but corruption is tangential. This implies that Nigeria will overcome all its challenges once corruption has been reduced to its barest minimum,” the statement read.

“This explains why President Muhammadu Buhari has been consistently consistent in tackling graft since his days as military head of state (1983-85) till today. Apart from the War Against Indiscipline (WAI), the period heralded transparency, probity and accountability in the public sphere.

“Unfortunately corrupt elements in society have also been fighting tooth and nail to frustrate his efforts. These include, but are not limited to, rapaciously greedy civil servants, a superfluously voracious business class and avariciously glutinous politicians.
