President Muhammadu Buhari says he wants to be remembered as a Nigerian president who fought corruption to a standstill, calling on Nigerians, who are not involved in corruptly enriching themselves with public funds, not to be afraid.

During a press conference after the India-Africa Summit, which took place in New Delhi, President Buhari said he would not lose sleep over criticism that he was being selective in the fight against corruption.

“Slow And Steady”

He called on the elites to encourage him to get whoever had compromised his position and the trust given to him.

President Buhari told the gathering that he remained resolute in the fight against corruption and would want to be remembered for that when it is all said and done.

His administration has three main focus – security, economy and the fight against corruption.

But he has roundly been criticised by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as being selective in the fight.

On the economy, critics of his administration said he was too slow in addressing economic and infrastructure in a country yearning for development, a criticism he had responded to saying: “They call me baba go slow, but I will go slow and steady”.



“Not About Meeting Deadline”

The President must be bothered that the National Assembly had been polarised following his choice of ministers.

While he was away, the PDP and the All Progressives Congress’ lawmakers were sharply divided over one of his ministerial nominees, Mr Chibuike Amaechi.

Following the confirmation of his ministerial nominees, President Buhari said he would prune down the number of ministries so as to be able to pay salaries.

On whether there will be an extension of a three-month deadline given by his administration to flush out Boko Haram from Nigeria’s north-east, the President said that the target was to get rid of terrorism and not about meeting deadline.

One of the main talking points at the one-day summit in New Delhi, was the provision India had make for African countries. The nation said it had set aside over $10 billion grant for African countries.

Wooing investors, President Buhari assured Indians and the international community of his administration’s commitment to sustaining efforts aimed at making Nigeria an envy of all.

He urged them to avail themselves of the conducive environment that would be created for investments to thrive.

Seun,Lalasticlala

Sai Baba Daura.We dey behind U like olumo rock.

Sir, even if it's only corruption you can fight, we're behind you. If corruption is reduced to the barest minimum, every other thing would be in place.

The wailingwailers are wailing as usual.

just do your best mr president.

Except

Fellow Nigerians, check the names & profiles of some of the senators who staged a walk-out because they hate corruption so badly and as such didn't want Ameachi as minister:-

But guess what...they now have this dark cloud of frustration and pain hovering around them,because he will now be a Minister of the FRN.

Shamefully, they include;

Saint Godswill Akpabio :- Presently facing corruption charges with EFCC as recent as last week.

Saint Joshua Dariye :- Was arrested for money laundering, removed from Office as Governor for 6 months & state of emergency declared in his state. Still facing corruption case with EFCC till date

Saint Theodore Orji :- Pending case with EFCC for allegedly squandered N474billion of Abia state money with his wife & son.

Saint Stella Oduah :- Bought 2 BMW N240billion. Was removed as minister. Still undergoing investigation with EFCC

Saint Jonah Jang :- Facing 20billion corruption charges with EFCC, case still in progress.

Saint Sam Egwu :- In 2007, a group, which calls itself the Coalition for Good Governance in Ebonyi State (COGGES) wrote petition to EFCC. In the petition, Sam Egu was described as the most corrupt Governor between 1999-2007. Case still pending in court.

Saint Enyinnaya Abaribe :- Impeached as deputy governor for corruption

Saint Buruji Kashamu - When I saw Kashamu among those walking out, I laughed almost slapped my Boss in the office. Kashamu staged a walk-out in protest against corruption. This must be illusory horror movie,I swear!!

we could hav appreciate if dis is wit out bias and nepotism. quite unfortunate i dont trust u no more... u r obviously selective in the dispensation of justies.... we still insist u start ur anti corruption drive wit d likes of tinubu, el rufai, amaechi and most predominantly ur northern brothers witout any tendency of sentiment. only den u gain our collective support..... and we shall remember u..

Don't worry, we will better remember you as the dullard that took us 50years backwards economically.

Who wants to remember a dullard

Joke of the day

This APC led fg may end up being the most corrupt in the history of this country.

the list of his ministers is still baffling some of his supporters.

i wonder the kind of Change the APC meant in the first place, because thing are changing from better to worst.

Start with Amaechi and Fashola

Well that is completely achievable if you probe former heads of state like Obasanjo, IBB, Abubakar and former Governors like Tinubu, Fashola and Amaechi and stop witch hunting Jonathan.

Then Indeed u ve fought Corruption to a standstill, if what u re saying is not propaganda.

Operation kick corruption out of the system.....





Let see how it's gonna be achieved..... I need actions and not talk again

lol... baba scammer...

I appeal to all childish wailers that they give our President the chance to fight corruption as he has said. It will be hard to have another person come on board and give corruption a fight like Buhari would. Let's forget all the APC vs PDP rivalry and allow this man achieve his goal. Even though he had to come on the APC platform, I know we need to soft-pedal our critism of him.
I also want the Buhari admin to focus on building stronger institution that can resist the forces of corruption for a long time to come. He may go after individuals to make a point on the short run, but the institution he leaves behind can be compromised when he is gone.
All those shouting Tinubu and Ameachi should know that corruption as a force in Nigeria knows no party or tribe, the other day it was one "Kolawole" aiding a "Madueke" in concealing loots. Let's give a leader who is truly passionate about positive change a chance and stop the propaganda of 'one chance'

Mr. President, your fight against corruption is lopsided and tilted only towards your perceived enemies and or opponents. What is the stand still there? Your anti corruption mantra died the very moment you nominated thieves as ministerial-designates and until you start fighting corruption within your corrupt-filled party and associates, you are more or less an empty vessel.

Funny guy.

Yet u appointed ameachi and obj is your best friend these days

Return Abacha's loot first.

ABIA abia

I hope so ...

Mr President If you can achieve that then you have done all that needs to be done.

But unfortunately from the turn of events lately we as a nation may wind up same spot we found ourselves after sixteen years of uninterrupted democratic rule. I know some 'believer' will start shouting 'it is not our portion'. Of course it is not and will not be our portion if the current administration start doing the right thing and deceased from pacifying party faiths and play politics of favoritism, we have been there and done that and it lead us no where. I wonder how doing same thing this time around will produce a different result.

The pacification that any true party faithful should ask for is to allow Mr. President to do his job with the intend of pleasing the masses first, anything other than that is nothing but same politics of the past 16 years repeating itself, but this time around woven around 'broom'.

Saying and doing ar two different tinz..... If dis guy stil dey do drugs he better stop now ......and layout wat ever he got for Nigerians ...cause this year is running out

Said Buhari

Ok

Pls let's Learn to appreciate and pray for those in authority for it is the will of God.
Today is Sunday and praying for the peace of the Nation is part of what we were taught.
I pray this moment that our PMB will receive grace to fight corruption.

Pls hit like as unto Amen.

Goodluck be like what about stealing

I dont take em serious

I am afraid that your only achievement after 4years might be fighting corruption(opposition politicians) at the expense of over 170million Nigerians and the economy.
