Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo says that every arm of government in the country is plagued with corruption.
Osinbajo
made the comment on Thursday, March 2, while speaking at the national
dialogue on corruption which held at the Presidential Villa.
“Clearly,
there is no doubt whatsoever whether any arm of government can excuse
itself, every part or arm of the society can excuse itself, but the
truth of the matter is that we all know that corruption in Nigeria is
systemic,” he said.
“It doesn’t
matter whether it is the executive arm of government, the judiciary or
the legislature, every arm of government is involved in this systemic
and life threatening social anomaly called corruption.
“There’s
no question at all. And it affects all segments of the society. It
affects the religious, it affects agencies and civil society
groups.There’s no one in our nation that can say they are not in one way
or the other, not necessarily being complicit but at least under some
influence or the other of some of the implications of corruption.
“So,
I think we should leave the finger pointing, because the finger
pointing is unhelpful. What is important is that we recognize that there
is a major problem here.
“The
truth of the matter is that there is nothing peculiar about the Nigerian
citizen, or the Nigerian type. Corruption thrives where it is allowed
to thrive and there are many societies that have found themselves in
worse circumstances than Nigeria and have somehow managed to solve their
problems,” he added.
The event was organized by Osinbajo’s office in collaboration with the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACAC).
