An anti – corruption Ambassador, Dr Babatunde Adeyemo, on Wednesday said that corruption was fighting back the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu both locally and internationally ostensibly to sabotage the gains that the administration was making for country in the last two years.
Adeyemo, a veteran broadcast journalist – turned major player in the nation’s real estate industry, said that the prevailing gains of steady exchange rate, subsidy removal, reduction in oil theft and the recent introduction of oil import tariffs have combined to make Nigeria’s economy less vulnerable to the manipulations of corrupt actors – both locally and internationally, stressing that the corruption was fighting back to set the nation back again. world would not like it when you see dollars falling against naira or pounds falling against naira. How do you expect them to feel or react?
“So,when you look at recent occurrence in Nigeria,, you will know we really need the present transformation. Though, we have challenges in this country, yes like security, but the way they are painting it now like turning it to Christian genocide. We cannot do that in Nigeria because it’s a very peaceful, we have some cases of extremists but their highly condemnable activities are not against one particular religion .
”Majority of those states that do experience security breach, especially the northern states are majority Muslims So,for someone to now carpet it as a genocide or intentional killing by the government or religious terrorists is not sincere enough. So, I believe at this point in time that we need proper orientation, most especially we have to start from the younger ones and they are the Corps numbers so that’s why we are here today.”
