I’ll Continue To Run Corruption-Free Government – Buhari

Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that if re-elected, he would continue to run a corruption-free government as against the 16 years mis-rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The President made this known in Ibadan, Oyo State Capital Saturday, when he was received by 103 traditional rulers in the state led by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III at the House of Chiefs, Parliament Building, Secretariat, Ibadan, during his campaign for re-election.

Buhari remarked that the pervasive nature and devastating, impact of corruption in the nation before the election, was dysfunctional.

Recalled when he assumed office in 2015, Buhari said that fight against corruption was a battle for the souls of different countries, adding that it was a fight that must be won.

The President recalled that since independence the country has suffered from the severe consequences of corruption, noting that it became imperative to take steps to reverse the trend.

“During the past several months, we have been taking steps to institute integrity and transparency in the processes of government and holding those who have plundered our commonwealth to account for their actions.”

“However, the costs of recovery and sanctions are also enormous. While commendable successes have been recorded, it has become manifest that corruption fights back. With enormous stolen resources elements have attempted to compromise law enforcing institutions and pervert the course of justice.”

“This realization highlights the necessity of building a system that focuses on preventing corruption. We continue to implement policies aimed at building resilient systems that can withstand assault by corrupt officials.”

He, then, expressed appreciation to the royal fathers for the supports he been enjoying from them since the advent of his administration.

Just as the President solicited the support of the monarchs in moving the nation forward, particularly in the forthcoming elections, he stated that his visit to the state was to remind them on the need to reflect on the condition of the country before his administration came on board and what his administration had achieved in the last three and half years for the country.

    Your fight against corruption is lopsided because some of your ministers are corrupt. Start your fight against corruption from them.

    Buhari is the most corrupt person in Nigeria. A responsible and respectful president would step down pending his WAEC result investigation… CCT chairman could have stepped down also because he is currently being investigated by the EFCC… Terrible set of people…Dull head president… I hate what Nigeria is turning into…

    Corruption is not only stealing public money but nepotism, religious bigotry, impunity and injustice which buhari personified. Public money can be recovered and destroyed or even looted again. Psyche cannot be restored easily.

    Sahel Standard Newspaper
    :Former police boss speaks on Onnoghen’s suspension as CJN http://www.sahelstandar
    d.com/former-police-boss-speaks-on-onnoghens-suspension-as-cjn/
    …says it time to rescue judiciary from shame
    Elder statesman and former Federal Commissioner in the Public Complaints Commission, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has stated that the suspension of embattled Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen has saved judiciary and the nation Nigeria from shame.
    Buhari had on Friday suspended Onnoghen following an interim order by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) which stated that the CJN be stepped aside.
    However, Mr. Ibrahim Tanko-Muhammed was appointed as the acting CJN.
    Reacting to the development, Tsav in a statement on Friday night said any Nigerian who is not happy with the suspension of Justice Onnoghen is irredeemably corrupt and wicked.
    He said, “The swearing in of Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) by President Muhammadu Buhari is a welcome development as it would pave the way for the former CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, to now have the focus necessary for him to clear himself before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
    “It must be noted that Justice Onnoghen’s date with the CCT is about explaining how and why he operated series of domiciliary bank accounts in violation of the law.
    “His arraignment before the Tribunal is not in connection with a ruling he gave or the way he conducted himself in court so the distraction he caused by claiming that only the National Judicial Council (NJC) could discipline him does not apply in this instance.
    “President Buhari must be commended for acting to save the judiciary and the image of our country, which was fast being reduced into a circus as the erstwhile chief interpreter of the law was about setting a dangerous precedent of ignoring court summons for him to be arraigned.
    “It took the decisive call of Mr. President to save the judiciary from shame and save Nigeria’s democracy from the collision course that the ex-CJN’s behaviour had set it.
    “The Nigerian judiciary came to a low point that still requires intensive damage control.
    “The clear cut matter of the former CJN appearing before the Tribunal to defend himself against the charges of false asset declaration preferred against him by the Federal Government became something that was being argued and interpreted at beer parlor joints while the accused repeatedly exploited ridiculous loopholes to evade appearing in court.
    “Had he persisted in office when it was imperative that he should vacate the position to ensure that his case before the CCT was not unduly influenced by his position, the entire democratic structure of Nigeria would have been compromised since all post-election litigations that would produce questionable rulings would have Onnoghen’s handprint all over them.
    “The law is no respecter of persons so Justice Onnoghen should prove to Nigerians that he believes in the treatment he had dished to them for several decades now; he himself admitted committing the infractions. It is now up to him to argue extenuating circumstances in defence of his action.
    “It is most unfortunate that this bold step towards saving the judiciary from itself is being given both political and ethnic coloration, which is most unfortunate as the arguments be pushed forward by some of those speaking in favour of Onnoghen are in reality casting aspersion on his integrity for a judicial officer of his stature should not be portrayed as being a card carrying member of a political party for its chieftains to rise in his vehement defence.
    “Any Nigerian who is not happy with the suspension of billionaire Justice Onnoghen after all the revelations which he (Onnoghen) has not denied, is irredeemably corrupt, wicked and is undeserving of making contributions to the ongoing discourse around the reforms needed in the judiciary.
    Meanwhile, acting CJN Justice Tanko should see the events leading to his appointment as a wake-up call to initiate the reforms and anti-corruption crusade needed to sanitize the judiciary in Nigeria while ensuring that the era of justice being put on sale is a thing of the past.”
