No amount of pressure will derail our war against corruption, Buhari declares

Statement from the presidency
President Buhari assured Nigerians Monday in Abuja that no amount of pressure will make him give up the war against corruption in the country. In an address to a group of Nigerians who marched to the Presidential Villa to pledge their full support for his administration's anti-corruption campaign, President Buhari promised a relentless prosecution of the war against corruption, with due regard for the rule of law.
The President said that all persons charged with stealing the nation’s resources will have their day in court and that, upon conviction, their ill-gotten wealth will be seized and returned to government coffers. "I believe it is time for Nigeria to change course. That is why I sought election as President and got elected.

As President, I am determined that Nigeria must move away from a course of endemic corruption that was leading us to perdition. "There can be no question of our willfully allowing anyone to get away with corruption. No matter the pressure and entreaties, the anti-corruption war will continue and all accused persons will have their day in court," the President said.

Welcoming the support of the group - Nigerians March Against Corruption, President Buhari, who was represented by his Special Adviser (Media & Publicity), Mr. Femi Adesina, also reaffirmed his commitment to curbing insecurity in the country and boosting employment opportunities for Nigerians, especially the youth. He called for the continued support and solidarity of Nigerians as the present administration works to correct the wrongs of the past.

The Nigerians Against Corruption group led by Aisha Yesufu had condemned recent statements by some individuals against the President’s anti-corruption campaign.

They assured the President that the vast majority of ordinary Nigerians fully supported his ongoing efforts to curb corruption and urged him not to be deterred by the antics of those who do not share his laudable vision of a fairer, more equitable, corruption-free and progressive nation.

Until I see Amaechi, Fashola, who used N78 million yo upgrade a website, Aregbesola, Oshiomole, and co behind bars; this anti corruption crusade is just a pay back to people who did not vote for him and a witch hunt. Period!

This is why we voted for change and yet no single conviction except the usual press release just like this one.

I just hope he doesn't waste his four years making noise about fighting corruption without achieving anything. If he wants to fight corruption he should start with himself because he's not a saint either.

May God B Wit U Ma Mentor! PDP is demonic muvment that has vowed to enslave it's ppl nd wud stop @ Notin in frustrating D incumbent Government's anti corruption crusade. I hav no aorta of doubts that Buhari is a shining star among millions that can stand against the monster calld CORRUPTION.
More so ppl must undrstnd dat pdp is yet to wake up frm it's nitemare of d reality dat it has lost control of its monopoly nd enslavement of Nigeria nd Nigerians a simple reason Y ppl got up sent them packin. The trut b told no man wud b happy watchin his rival take d food frm his dinning table espcialy wen he's eatin evrybdys share greedily.
Youths rootin for Pdp are far frm d simple realities of time nd it's simple...freedom at last aftr 16years of slavery in the hands of hard Capitalists, looters, occults nd profound criminals.
Ordinary Nigerians must wake up though the elites thinks their time is over nd wud stop @ Notin in inciting nd hypnotising ordinary Nigerians in believin Buhari's Change Mantra is jst a Phrase nd a fallacy.
Youths pls wake up!

@SHEHU or whatever u call yourself. You are a big fool and senseless animal for accusing Buhari of living in a high brow area. Before nkor? Where would he have stayed? The fact that he lives in aso rock should not stop him from fighting corruption. Are u expecting a whole president to live in a slum? He is the president of the country for crying out loud. He has paid his dues. Let him enjoy what God has blessed him with. You too wait for your turn and pray to God to also bless u to get to that level. Why are PDP holigans always scared at the mention of corruption? They try so hard to oppose it by making silly statements. Buhari pls dont let their stupid statements distract you or put pressure on you. Catch all the thieves that are killing this country. Stmchew

@mimi abba Jonathan was meant to have probed Tinubu and co. He should not wait for Buhari to do his job for him. Any president should probe his immediate past government. It is like you telling Buhari to probe Gowan's govt, Muritala Muhammed's govt, Aguyi Ironsi's govt etc. Pls lets be reasonable. Since Jonathan refused to do his job, dont heep it on Buhari. Any thief that Buhari can catch, let him catch. You are not to dictate to him what to do .
