Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stressed the need for Nigeria to change its tactics in the fight against corruption.

Osinbajo spoke on Tuesday at the 20th Anniversary Africa Regional Webinar of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, themed “Combating Corruption and Illicit Financial Flows: New Measures and Strategies”.

This is coming amidst the ongoing investigation of the suspended acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, over allegations of corruption.

According to Osinbajo, there was no magic bullet to ending corruption, stemming IFFs or promoting asset recovery and return. He said: “We simply must work hard at it and be determined to succeed.

“We must make corruption expensive for those who engage in it and send the unequivocal message that corruption simply does not pay. “Domestically, we must also be prepared to change, to some extent, our tactics in the fight against corruption.

“Listening to Edward Kallon (The UN Resident Coordinator in Nigeria who spoke earlier), I’m convinced that there are many practical steps that can be taken.”

The vice president called for the democratization of the fight against corruption. While noting that Nigerians were interested in the fight against grand corruption, he said grand corruption cripples the economy.

“But they also want to see action in what would be regarded as petty corruption – in their interfaces with government officials either in the search for certifications, approvals of any kind, licenses, and all of that. “Many want to see that corruption at that level is tackled effectively.

“And I think that we must begin to look at innovative ways of doing so.

“Secondly, we must protect, even more, whistle-blowers – persons who come forward with information against corruption.

“We must protect those who are ready to fight against corruption and who are prepared to do so without necessarily disclosing their identities and even those who are ready to disclose their identities.

Corruption does not pay yet you guys appointed Ganduje to head Edo election after he was caught on camera receiving bribe.

Foolish people, Foolish party!

Talks without action is useless

What's needed is a systemic corruption fight. Not just catching thieves

Eepelee

Can a fool be wise? Let them say sth differently mbok. How can they fight themselves? Such tomfoolery! Such deceit! One day, y'all will be mamaguyed by those other counterparts of yours who felt you looted more than they ever did. Doom awaits you. Bunch of sadists!

Nigeria mindset and greediness

Ok

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stressed the need for Nigeria to change its tactics in the fight against corruption.

After embarking on a wild goose chase for 5 years ?

This is Hilarious and very ridiculous.

"How can you catch a thieve when the shop is closed" - Osinbajo ..

Because the graft war is coming near to you...u want to change tactics.

The fight against corruption has been one of the target of this government and they are trying all means to tackle it

It's the responsibilities of all and sundry to tackle the incessant corruption of our land and we are happy that Buhari/Osibanjo is focusing on it

We must all rise and fight against corruption if we want to enjoy a robust economic growth which has been so difficult since the level of corruption keep increasing on a daily basis. May God continue to add to your wisdom Mr VP��You have said it all.

You guys better do so, and fast! You're fast losing some of your staunchest supporters over the gamut of slease and malfeasance reported in the newspapers daily.

Things are getting out of hands.

Tesppidd, see what I'm saying. Even they themselves seem to have now come to the realization things arent going as expected.

We will wait for that angel that will come in without the corrupt cabal supporting him.

Admin pls don't ban me my daughter life is at stake

Agreed. Perhaps, Africans must unite to eradicate this virus called corruption because it is slowing down the development in Africa countries. Nigeria must change the tactics in the fight against corruption. Recommend a severe punishment for the culprits which will serve as a deterrent to others. You will have to think twice before you engage in it.

In China, if you are caught in the act of corruption, they will kill you and throw your dead body into the river. We can have similar punishment here in Nigeria.
