President Muhammadu Buhari has warned Nigerians to reject any candidate who will bring the country back to the era of high corruption less than one month before the 2023 general elections.
Buhari declared that corruption is wicked and should be opposed by all Nigerians.
The President gave this advice in Abuja, at a conference on Fighting Corruption in Nigeria organized by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC,
Buhari declared that he will leave Nigerians a legacy of “zero-tolerance for corruption” while being represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha.
“In a matter of weeks, Nigerians will need to go to the polls again to elect their leaders in the general elections.
“I beseech Nigerians to reject politicians who would drag our country back to the dark ages in which corruption was made the order of the day,” he said.
Buhari has voiced his opposition to corruption ever since taking office.
The president often promised to fight corruption in Nigeria.
Despite his resolve, he has nonetheless come under fire for failing to successfully combat corruption.
