Nigeria - The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against being selective in his fight against corruption.
In a statement signed by its Executive Chairman, Mr Debo Adeniran, CACOL, stated that it was aware that many of the recently announced ministerial nominees had corruption questions to answer, adding that the defence some of them put up during their screening were self-indicting on the corruption allegations against them.
“Since nepotism is a form of corruption; that someone belongs to the ruling party, is a legislator or a minister should not be misconstrued as immunity against prosecution. Such people should not be allowed to occupy any public office till they satisfactorily answer the charges against them lest they constitute a dent on its anti-corruption image,” the statement noted.
