"AVOID BEING SELECTIVE IN ANTI-CORRUPTION WAR"- Fasheun

Founder of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC,
Frederick Fasehun, yesterday appealed to
President Muhammadu Buhari against being
selective in his anti-corruption crusade, advising
him to concentrate on governance.
Fasehun, who made this known during a remark
on his 80th birthday celebration in Lagos, noted
that the President’s anti-graft crusade was
commendable but warned against “selective
probing.”
“We have not noticed the possible aspect of
change, but 100 days is too short. We want
Nigerians to be patient; we want to advise
President Muhammadu Buhari to concentrate on
governance,” he stated.
The OPC leader advised the federal government to
show commitment to improving education of
youth so as to promote unity and curb insecurity,
observing that Nigerians have been agitating for
free education at all levels, which he described as
the right of all citizens.
According to him, “Education is the bedrock of
national development so all of us must commit
ourselves to the education of the youth.
“Our country needs to be re-organised and that is
why I feel very happy that many ethnic
nationalities are here because we want to use this
opportunity to start bridge-building in this
country,” he said.
Fasehun, who used the event to announce his
retirement from partisan politics, said he would
like to be simply regarded as elder statesman,
saying: “I give up placard-carrying; every Nigerian
is my brother, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and others.
“All of us should be committed to bridge-building;
henceforth, I will be an advocate of peace to all,”
he added.
