Former governor of Anambra State and and chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress, Chimwoke Mbadinuju has called for citizens support
for the anti-graft campaigns of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Speaking against the
backdrop of recent launch of the Anti-Corruption Sensitization Campaign of the
federal government to a group of journalists in Keffi on Friday the former
governor declared that “what the president is doing is cleaning the mess of previous
administrations. It is clear that the president is not the cause of our
political and economic problems but rather finding solutions of past and
present problems we face.
“Former administrations
brought the “cankerworm” and “caterpillar” of corruption, injustice, poor
economy, cheating and looting. President Buhari has extended the loot recovery
to former Yar’adua-Obasanjo era and this is extensive enough to curb graft and
recover Nigeria’s stolen commonwealth.
“Corruption will die
faster in Nigeria if we do away with avarice, inordinate ambition, political
ostentation, greed, cheating and the likes.”
While defending recent
actions of President Buhari including the formation of a federal cabinet,
foreign trips and the recent budget proposal sent to both chambers of the
National Assembly, Dr. Mbadinuju said the president was doing what was best for
Nigeria in the circumstances.
“The president has
travelled extensively but not for himself but for the Nigerian people. This
travels to Europe, the United States, France, Malta and some other African
countries were done to help our national situation and today Nigeria is better
for those diplomatic travels.
“just like Shakespeare
said “folks who put the pipper to passion will see the pipper pipe after
another fashion,” Nigerians should applaud President Buhari on this path to
prosperity.
“Every well-meaning
Nigerian can agree with me that President Buhari’s decision to opt for Minister
of Petroleum was to right the wrongs of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) and Nigeria as whole. This is a master-stroke that is certainly good for
Nigeria,” the former governor of Anambra whose tenure between 1999 and 2003 was
fraught with controversies told journalists.
On the abduction saga
by Boko Haram insurgents of more than 200 female students of Government Girls
College, Chibok in Borno State in 2014, Mbadinuju said the Buhari government
was not oblivious of the plights of the parents of the abducted girls and
adduced the conundrum to the late response by the previous administration of
President Goodluck Jonathan.
He charged Nigerians to
ensure that all hands be on deck with Preisent Buhari so as not to allow
opposition distract the president and called for unity among the various
segments of the Nigerian society.
However, the former
governor did not spare the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) whom he described as
“corrupt opposition” for the woes that presently bedevil Nigeria. He also
charged the opposition to be objective in their assessment of the President’s
“less than one year in office.”
