"BUHARI HAS SENT A STRONG MESSAGE ABOUT CORRUPTION.

For one who has and is still silently been labelled as a former corrupt vice president, Atiku Abubakar also has an opinion on Buhari's campaign against corruption. His statement below...
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the first 100 days
in office of President Muhammadu Buhari has reinforced his
confidence, that despite the perceived slow pace, “Nigeria is on
the path of progress and bright future.”
In a press statement released by his media office in Abuja on
Friday, 4 September, 2015, the former Vice President noted that the
first 100 days in office of President Muhammadu Buhari clearly
indicated that Nigeria is witnessing a marked departure from the
culture of impunity, inertia and apathy in governance.
According to Atiku, even within the first 100 days, Nigerians could
clearly see real proofs that the country is already moving in the
right direction, which he attributed to President Buhari’s
leadership by example style.
He said the President’s body language has sent strong and
unmistakable message that the era of impunity was over, and that
“corruption is no longer fashionable.”
The former Vice President explained that when leaders lead by
example, they could automatically inspire public confidence, which
he said is a condition for the success of any government policy.
According to Atiku, the Buhari administration has so far
succeeded in blocking revenue leakages and diversions, which
feed corruption.
The Turaki of Adamawa, who said he was proud to be part of the
change movement, said there are enough examples that President
Buhari is making a difference.
He said the Boko Haram terrorists are for the first time facing a
fiercer response from newly motivated armed forces, adding that
the terrorists are in disarray because of the new offensive strategy
adopted by the government.
The former Vice President appealed to Nigerians to show more
patience with President Buhari because some major reforms might
take time, but the country would ultimately be a better place.
Atiku said the level of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria is
inconsistent with its oil wealth, explaining that corruption is the
biggest obstacle to development.
The former Vice President said President Buhari has boosted his
optimism that Nigeria would rebound again.
