Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday, condemned the social media
campaigns by some Nigerians to bring back corruption. Some Nigerians
started the campaign on social media believing that the hardship that
is currently being experienced would be a thing of the past
if
corruption is brought back. Osinbajo condemned the campaign when he
received members of the organized labor that staged a protest to the
state house Abuja.
“Every time you fight corruption the way we are trying to fight
corruption, there is a major fight back, because corruption in this
country is wealthy, powerful, influential and it is in every aspect of
our lives. It is in practically all institutions including religious
institutions. The social media campaign of bring back corruption is an
orchestrated one. Nobody that is suffering can say bring back
corruption. Attempts by those who are being tried for corruption to
delay trials are also part of the orchestrated campaign. If we don’t
speak up against corrupt officials, who make it look as if there is a
witch-hunt, then we will not succeed in the fight. Government needs
everybody to speak up. We have a serious battle in our hands and if we
don’t win that battle, this country will never get to the path of
sustainable development. The major problem that this country has
suffered so far is the looting of its resources. We must fight
corruption hard. It is a tough one, but we must fight it.”he said
