Prominent Nigerians Working Against Anti-Corruption War – Osinbajo

Prof Yemi Osinbajo has alleged that some prominent Nigerians are working against the success of the anti-corruption crusade of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Vice President, who made this known on Thursday during a meeting in his office with a delegation from the Moslem Congress of Nigeria, said the federal government regular gets messages from some Nigerian elites saying cool down.

Prof Osinbajo also remarked that the masses of the Nigerian people on the contrary have a clearer understanding of right and wrong.

Although some elites are saying “it is not a big deal,” and that government should merely ask the looters of the commonwealth of the nation to return the money and go, Prof. Osinbajo expressed gladness that “a new tribe of Nigerians who would not compromise their values but would maintain a sense of right and wrong is now emerging”.
“The man on the street is very clear, so whatever some of these elites say, we shall keep our focus on the masses who voted for us,” the Vice President declared.

He said it was simply unacceptable that in the last 16 years there was not a single federal government completed road project, not to even talk of rail.

“The reason is corruption,” he asserted, adding that the cost of projects were often inflated as people entrusted with public trust struggle to enrich themselves at the expense of the people.

“The insurgency has gone on for 6 years because government could not adequately equip the military,” he stated
