Corruption is a cankerworm that has eaten very deep into the fabric of Nigeria for decades. It is a disturbing state of affairs that forced the Catholic Bishop Conference of Nigeria, 22 years ago, to compose a prayer caIled Prayer Against Bribery and Corruption in Nigeria, which is said till date, in all Catholic Churches.
Buhari is one of the very few politicians who have all the trappings of leadership qualities of being genuinely sincere about fighting corruption. He is one leader devoid of any stains of corruption hanging on his neck, despite the fact that he had held sensitive positions in the country in time past.
Yes, the corruption fight has not been without obstacles and challenges. Recall that initially, the opposition parties employed different kinds of propaganda machinery to frustrate corruption. They accused the president of being selective in the corruption fight, and also said he was abandoning all other aspects of governance and focusing on corruption alone.
All in all, despite the obstacles and challenges, President Buhari is very much on course in the fight against corruption. If anything, he has to be applauded for the fact that there is no room for cover-up, no matter whose ox is gored.There are no sacred cows, as exemplified by the on-going investigation of Mr. Ibrahim Magu, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , who is an appointee of the president.
