The fear of Buhari by public office holders in Nigeria presently is the beginning of wisdom. From latest statements accrued to him, the fight against corruption in Nigeria is just starting.
President Buhari today said as the fight against corruption
continues and anyone found wanting will not be spared. He said it
at the opening session of the 45th Annual Accountants Conference
and 50th Anniversary celebration of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Nigeria which held in Abuja.
President Buhari was represented by the Permanent Secretary,
Federal Ministry of Finance, Mrs Anastasia Nwaobia ...
"We are at the threshold of history where we must
collectively take the destiny of the nation in our hands. As
Nigerians, no one can love Nigeria like you and me. On our
part, we will continue to lead by example, making efforts to
live above board. As we strive to walk or talk,we will carry
to its logical conclusions our initiative to overhaul the
bureaucracy of the public sector in an effort to engender
transparency and improve productivity in public
governance. I assure you that persons found wanting will
not be spared. As blessed as we are as a nation, Nigerians
have no business being classified as poor. Yet, through the
greed of some unpatriotic few, our commonwealth has been
badly pillaged in the name of public service. Our ability as
a nation to create wealth has increasingly been hampered
by lack of prudence, transparency and honesty in the
management of public resources by some of those
entrusted with the duty of governance at all levels. This
should not be allowed to continue. The nation ought and
must leave the throes of poverty and underdevelopment. I
do believe that as a people, we are naturally destined for
greatness,” he said.
