Ekiti Governor, Ayodele Fayose has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari is hiding under anti-corruption fight to harass perceived enemies while protecting corrupt people in his government.
Transparency International (TI) in its latest report of corruption index, Nigeria went one place down; signifying that much has not been done on the part of the Buhari Administration.
The Governor said this in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka on Thursday.
According to him, the report vindicates his position that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Buhari was not fighting any corruption.
“Transparency International only confirmed what I have said before that President Buhari is only hiding under anti-corruption fight to harass his perceived political foes while protecting corrupt people in his government. Transparency International has placed a question mark on the President’s claim to integrity. Fact is that President Buhari is presiding over the worse form of corruption in the history of Nigeria.
“Despite their propaganda, they have not been able to hide the rot in their government from the eagle eyes of international organisations like the Transparency International,” Fayose said.
The governor also questioned the leadership of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu to head the Agency despite being indicted by a report from the Department of State Security (DSS).
