Buhari's anti-corruption campaign is bound to step on big toes- Shehu Garba

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity Shehu Garba says that the ant-corruption crusade of President Buhari is bound to step on some big toes in the country. According to Garba, personal interest will be put aside as Buhari fights corruption. He stated this at the opening of a 3-day retreat for state house correspondents in Kaduna state yesterday Dec. 10th


"President Buhari has embarked on an anti-corruption campaign that is bound to offend many. Big toes will be stepped on, personal interests will be cast aside. As the popular saying goes, when you fight corruption, corruption fights back. Yes, anti-corruption is a war. And the press can help President Muhammadu Buhari to win that war. You (the press) are one of the government's most lethal weapons in this battle against the forces that aim to pull down Nigeria. The power of the media, if they have any power at all, lies in their ability to expose wrong-doing. This power of exposure is a far more effective deterrent in many countries, including our own, than the court systems that deliver judgment and not necessarily justice. If they know that they will be exposed, many crimes will not happen and herein lies the challenge of the media under Buhari administration. Use your power to expose wrong-doing; the days of impunity are gone. This is the best way to help the change, now that we have a government with the will and capacity to right all wrongs".he said

    1. Urcomment shows u don't mean well for this s country and ure too selfish to think for the future, Buhari means well for Nigeria and has taken the right steps, Dasuki is a northerner and Buhari is already dealing with him, its up to us to also help Buhari in fishing or pointing out with evidence corrupt peop le in his team

  6. D-PinPointer Says: "... Including our own.". It should be: including ours. If you say big toes and people like IBB, Atiku, Theophilus Danjuma, Obasanjo, Bode George, Margaret Attah, Damijo Bankole, Kalu Orji, and the host of others are not included, then the war on corruption is baseless.

    Again, what impact has the acquisition of recovered loot had on the property? Or you recover the money and then put it in your pocket? If the recovery does not impact the lives of the citizens, then it is meaningless.

    1. Jonathan should have exposed Obj. This administration is only interested in immediate past administration not administration that looted in the 60s. Sorry

    2. Jonathan should have probed Bola Tinubu. Jonathan should not wait for Buhari to do his job for him. This administration is only interested in immediate past administration not administration that looted in the 60s. Sorry

  8. Once you start with amaechi the minister of transpotation and fashola the minister of power and works and tunbu your big father then we will help fight the curroption,because l can see that this fighting of corruption you guys are talking about is only on those who did not support mr president during the election.nonsense all l see is (revenge) not more.

  11. Of course Nigerians know what they bargained for when they unanimously asked for change at the polls some months ago.I know oxes will be gored in the clean up process. Those who are still holding on to the witch hunt moribund ideas had better have a rethink.Buhari won't be president forever.Another govt after him will probe his activities of now.What goes around comes around

    2. Before Amaechi became the governor did you try to find out his last place of work . Some people just want their voices to be heard and talk out of proportion.

  34. BUHARI SHOULD PROBE ONLY IMMEDIATE PAST ADMINISTRATION. JONATHAN SHOULD HAVE PROBED OBASANJO AND OBASANJO SHOULD HAVE PROBED ABACHA AND SO ON. YOU CANNOT EXPECT BUHARI TO DO JONATHAN'S JOB FOR HIM. IF JONATHAN DID NOT PROBE OBASANJO, IT IS HIS CUP OF TEA. YOU CANNOT EXPECT BUHARI TO BE PROBING ADMINISTRATION OF THE 60s. SORRY.
