The comment was made by Ribadu on Wednesday, July 20, 2016, during an event organized by the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption in Abuja.
Former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu, has urged Nigerians to stop politicizing President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption.
Ribadu made the comment on Wednesday, July 20, 2016,
during an event organized by the Presidential Advisory Committee on
Corruption in Abuja, Vanguard reports.
“I want
to appeal to Nigerians to
give the current government’s fight against
corruption a chance and shun the undue politicisation of issues. There
is no other way to prosecute anti-corruption than what we are witnessing
presently,” he said.
“The effort has
yielded appreciable result going by the unprecedented recoveries and the
high profile cases being handled. The government and those in charge of
the process deserve commendation and our collective support.
“This
war is about the survival of our country and the right environment has
to be created for the malfeasance to be cleaned and the right
foundations and tools set for greater Nigeria.
“Unfortunately,
emotions are often put forward before national interest thereby
rubbishing what is otherwise noble and patriotic undertaking. Some of us
that have done this work and those presently doing it, have been unduly
vilified for nothing other than daring to confront the corruption
monster. We need to change our attitude, if we are to make enduring
headway in this all-important battle,” he added
