Apparently reacting over the ongoing trial of the Senate President,
Senator Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, leader of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said
the present administration cannot overlook certain things in its fight
against corruption.
Meantime, Tinubu has called on Nigerians to often put God and the
nation first in their daily activities, saying “What is missing (in
Nigeria) is patriotism, dedication to God and to our people.
Tinubu in an interview after observing his two rakat prayer as part
of the activities for the
Eid-el-Kabir celebration at the Dodan Barrack
praying ground, Obalende area of Lagos State, said that the ongoing
anti-corruption war embarked upon by President Muhammadu Buhari will
further strengthen the country’s institutions and fast track
development.
This came 48 hours after the Saraki appeared before the CCT in Abuja
on September 22nd, 2015, claiming that he was not guilty to the charges
leveled against him by the tribunal.
According to him, “It is part of nation’s development. We cannot
overlook a lot of things. And we cannot personalise a lot of things as
if it was vendetta. We have to endure and be patient as we look for
justice, equity and a balanced society.”
He stated that to achieve a just and balanced society, the various
institutions in the country must be strengthened, adding “if we do not
straighten these institutions, how can they work for the development of
the nation? If we fail and result to blackmail, how can the nation
reverse the decadence that is perceived in our society?
