Presidency: Nothing Will Stop President Buhari's War Against Corruption By Isah Bala
The presidency yesterday resounded its support for president Muhammadu Buhari's effort towards cleansing Nigeria and stated that nothing will stop Buhari's administration from fighting corruption in Nigeria.
This is coming barely a week the Senate refused to approve some appointees of the President and the confirmation of Magu as substantive chairman of the economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC).
The presidency added that not even the strong resistance of the opposition and its calculated actions to submerge the efforts at sanitising the system would force the government to give up.
According to statement by President's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, "Nigerians gave their votes in 2015 to Buhari because of his commitment to weed out corruption as one of the cardinal policies of his election campaign.
“Let me say one thing. Those whose illicit ways of accumulating money have been stopped will criticise this government, but all that will not derail the unfaltering commitment of the President, Muhammadu Buhari's administration to the war against corruption.
“He is aware that this was one of the main reasons Nigerians, in their millions, put their trust in him; the main reason they voted him into power in 2015.
“To keep that trust of ordinary Nigerians who voted him into the office, he has vowed to give corruption a good fight. He will not let them down.”Shehu said.
The Presidential spokesman admitted that the battle against corruption has not been easy as corruption is fighting back.
“Corruption has been fighting back vehemently, finding accomplices in various forms and guises. Nevertheless, the Buhari administration will not relent,” Shehu said.
