Politics Obasanjo raised the mountain of corruption -Bakare- Punch

[LequteMan]

The Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said on Wednesday that despite former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s “supposed achievement” in office, his administration was characterised by the raising of the bar of corruption in the country.

Bakare spoke in Lagos as the guest lecturer at the 10th Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture/Symposium organised by the Ikeja Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association.

The event, with the theme, ‘Nigeria at centenary: A nation still in bondage?’, was chaired by former President of the Court of Appeal, retired Justice Ayo Salami, who called for the separation of the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria from that of the Chairman of the National Judicial Council.

This year is going to be interesting. I hope all the secrets come out. But then again we should be careful what we wish for.

I think Nigeria's corruption rate would rise, regardless of who is in ppower. The seed had already been sown a long time ago.

Quite the pessimist there, aren't you, @Lequte?

LOL. Touche. So when do we start expecting a turnaround in the state of affairs in this country?

 

[LequteMan]

Sincerely, I have no idea. We could ask Pastor Tunde Bakare or other prophetic prophets.

If things were to change, it'll start with each and every Nigerian. The belief, the attitude& the mentality all have to change first, for a major part of the population at least.

That has always been the sermon. "It starts with you and me," In 2000, they made a popular jingle, "Nigeria: a people united, a future assured. Join hands, let's take Nigeria higher." Yet here we are, lower official equally as corrupt as the billion-dollar-teleporters ruling us.

Question remains, forever: who will bell the cat?

There is strength in numbers. It starts with you.
