Bola Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC has reacted to the ongoing trial of the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
Tinubu, speaking after activities for the Eid-il-Kabir celebration at Dodan Barracks, praying ground, said that the ongoing anti-corruption war embarked upon by President Muhammadu Buhari will further strengthen the country’s institutions and fast track development; VANGUARD reports.
He said, ''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''.
''Government officials are no longer believed by the citizens. When one has a public responsibility, the citizens look at it as if the source of wealth to steal and mismanage public funds and do things not included in the democratic norms and values.
''We have to live by example and by our words. We can be talking about it alone. We have to work it without any iota of blackmail.”
''It is not what I haven’t personally experienced. I have been through it. The second week I left office, I was invited by Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC. I went there and answered their questions. Later, I took them to court and I won''.
''Some years back, after they discovered that my asset declaration had some questions, they claim. It is only then I accused the government of being selective. I went and challenged them to show proof. I was later discharged and acquainted because there was no evidence to prove their s and perseverance of people. If we want people to persevere, from the top to the bottom, we have to demonstrate as leaders that we are very serious about nation building too.
''Our leaders should look compassionately at the suffering masses and create the demand locally and diversify our economy. Go through it at once and have a nation that we will all be proud of. Develop citizenship that will be blind to tribe or ethnicity but believe in character.
