Former Chairman of the EFCC, has urged Nigerians to encourage President Muhammadu Buhari's efforts to rid the country of corruption.
"There is no other way to prosecute anticorruption than what we are witnessing presently," he said. "The effort has yielded appreciable result going by the unprecedented recoveries and the high profile cases being handled. The government and those in charge of the process deserve commendation and our collective support.
"This war is about the survival of our country, and the right environment has to be created for the malfeasance to be cleaned and the right foundations and tools set for greater Nigeria.
"Unfortunately, emotions are often put forward before national interest thereby rubbishing what is otherwise noble and patriotic undertaking. Some of us that have done this work and those presently doing it have been unduly vilified for nothing other than daring to confront the corruption monster. We need to change our attitude if we are to make enduring headway in this all-important battle.
He spoke on Wednesday while presenting a paper at the National Stakeholders Workshop on Recovery and Management of Recovered in Abuja.
