President
Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war has received a groundswell of support from the
Niger Delta Zone of the country.
A group known as the Niger Delta Peoples Movement (NDPM) said it decided to give unalloyed support to the President to ensure a successful prosecution of the war.
NDPM’s Coordinator, Mrs Ibifuro Thompson-
Tatua, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt that Buhari had
demonstrated enough political will to fight corruption.
She expressed hope that the anti-
corruption campaign of the Federal
Government would help to sanitise both public and private sectors of the country.
“Buhari has stated that he is fighting
corruption because it amounts to denial of resources required for development.
“So, the president should be supported by everyone in his drive to salvage the nation from economic recession and infrastructural
decay as a result of corruption," she said
According to Thompson-Tatua, it is embarrassing that Nigeria that is endowed with human and material resources is still a
developing nation after 56 years of
independence.
“It is quite unfortunate that we are still creeping even among developing nations. This is because past political leaders in the country were united in corrupt practices.
“If we had judiciously channelled our
resources to developing Nigeria, the country
would have developed far better economically
and in infrastructure than what it is now,” she said
Thompson-Tatua described President Buhari as being on a journey to take Nigeria to the
right destination.
She urged well-meaning Nigerians to encourage the anti-corruption agencies in a bid to kill what she called the hydra-headed cancer (corruption) that had eaten deep into the nation’s fabric. (NAN)
