reacted to the ongoing trial of the Senate President, Senator Bukola
Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
Tinubu, speaking after activities for the Eid-il-Kabir celebration at
Dodan Barracks, praying ground, said that the ongoing anti-corruption
war embarked upon by President Muhammadu Buhari will further
strengthen the country’s institutions and fast track development;
VANGUARD reports.
He said, ''It is part of nation’s development. We cannot overlook a lot
of things. And we cannot personalise a lot of things as if it was
vendetta. We have to endure and be patient as we look for justice,
equity and a balanced society''.
''Government officials are no longer believed by the citizens. When
one has a public responsibility, the citizens look at it as if the source
of wealth to steal and mismanage public funds and do things not
included in the democratic norms and values.
''We have to live by example and by our words. We can be talking
about it alone. We have to work it without any iota of blackmail.”
''It is not what I haven’t personally experienced. I have been through
it. The second week I left office, I was invited by Economic and
Financial Crime Commission, EFCC. I went there and answered their
questions. Later, I took them to court and I won''.
''Some years back, after they discovered that my asset declaration had
some questions, they claim. It is only then I accused the government
of being selective. I went and challenged them to show proof. I was
later discharged and acquainted because there was no evidence to
prove their s and perseverance of people. If we want people to
persevere, from the top to the bottom, we have to demonstrate as
leaders that we are very serious about nation building too.
''Our leaders should look compassionately at the suffering masses and
create the demand locally and diversify our economy. Go through it at
once and have a nation that we will all be proud of. Develop
citizenship that will be blind to tribe or ethnicity but believe in
character.
