For the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to show sincerity in its anti-graft war, all alleged corrupt members of the All Progressives Congress must be tried to pass the simple test of sincerity, a senior lawyer, Femi Falana SAN, has advocated.
He said: “Unlike previous administrations, this Buhari regime has shown sound interest in fighting corruption, but how far can it go? If it must succeed, we must not make it a government business. All state governors should be made to join the Federal Government in the campaign. If someone has stolen the money of the state government, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission should come through the Attorney General and investigate.
Falana noted that of the 36 states, only Kano had an anti-corruption agency, adding: “APC controls 20 states. Aside Kano and the Federal Government, no other state is controlling corruption. Even then, with the powers conferred on the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission , there is a limit they can go because they are underfunded, they are also controlled by government, which decides who they investigate and who not to investigate.
