The Federal Government says it is aware that those who mismanaged the wealth of the country have been using their influence to frustrate its anti-corruption campaign. Speaking in Lagos on Sunday, The Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed said “Let me remind you, gentlemen, that radicalisation is a key causative factor of terrorism… ‘We know that those who stole us dry are powerful. They have newspapers, radio and television stations and an army of ers to continuously deride the government’s war against corruption.”
He said the current istration would not be discouraged by the ploy of its opponents, describing as an incentive, the commendation which US secretary of state Mr. John Kerry, gave to President Muhammadu Buhari on his anti-graft fight, Mohammed said the battle must be won for the nation to achieve sustainable growth. At a speech delivered during the just-concluded World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Kerry lauded the current istration. Mohammed said he would soon kick-start a series of town hall meetings across the country to take the sensitisation campaign, which he launched in Abuja last Monday, directly to Nigerians. ”The federal government is delighted that the anti-corruption war being led by President Muhammadu Buhari has been acknowledged and applauded on a global stage,” he said. ”It is particularly gratifying that in that speech, Mr Kerry made the link between corruption and terrorism. We agree that corruption is indeed a radicaliser because it destroys faith in legitimate authority. “Let me remind you, gentlemen, that radicalisation is a key causative factor of terrorism… ‘We know that those who stole us dry are powerful. They have newspapers, radio and television stations and an army of ers to continuously deride the government’s war against corruption.

“But we are undaunted and will not relent until corruption is also decimated.” Mohammed said corruption was responsible for the endemic poverty in the country, noting that whereas Nigeria’s national budget has increased from just over N900 billion in 1999 to over N6 trillion in 2016, poverty has also increased almost by the same proportion. “The reason is not far-fetched: Appropriated funds have mostly ended up in the pockets of a few looters,” he said.

”When the money meant to construct roads is looted, the end result is that the roads are not built and the people suffer and even die in avoidable road accidents. When the money meant to provide electricity is looted, we all are perpetually sentenced to darkness. When the money meant for healthcare is pocketed by a few, we are unable to reduce maternal and infant mortality. These are the costs of corruption.” He faulted the view that the government was dwelling too much on the war against corruption to the detriment of other areas of governance. “The situation is very grim indeed, as far as corruption is concerned. That is why the federal government is embarking on this sensitisation Campaign,” he said. “Our approach – which is to count the cost of corruption – is not to vilify anyone but to use facts and figures to give Nigerians a sense of what corruption has done to their lives.”

Is this where the rumour that Tinubu will be investigated came from. Well you cant predict politicians,just may be PMB is already fed up with the excess baggage and moral challenge of carrying Tinubu along.
I guess PMB will only be taken seriously by international community,when Tinubu is brought to book,he Tinubu 'cannot eat his and have it'.

Tinubu is reported to be worth over 2trillion naira making him the most corrupt Nigerian politician living or dead and he also owns TV radio and newspapers

Oga... Stop it,, the teevee and the ers dont carry out investigations

I doubt if they determine Court verdicts

Allow the anti-graft agencies to do their work

Speak on why ministry of works will use almost 800 million to upgrade website and portal

Explain the numerous software acquisitions running into almost a trillion in the presidency

Explain why hundreds of million will be used to conserve wildlife in Aso Rock

A word is enough for the wise

Programmed lying Mohammed.... You stole all the lies in the world, you're also the owner of TV and newspapers stations sprouting falsehood, lies and propaganda.... You tummy is the transmitter.! The radiative waves of the signal made your nose a daredevil.

Hmm

Mr Lie again.

E.g Odumakin has floated radio station in Ibadan. He was the one who sold his right for a pot of GEJ yam porridge.

It was a patriot that once said and I qoute;

If after 8 months, the lingering perfume of the previous tenant is still stronger than your own scent, then we've got a problem! The new tenant prolly doesnt know his onions or the right perfume to use!

Personally, I wonder when this Buhari and his team will sit up and face the job they were employed for! Nigeria is on the brink.

Meanwhile somewhere in Abuja........

Shameless lying bastard
