Former Communications Minister Adebayo Shittu has revealed why President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign is wrong.
Shittu said that Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign is faulty because anti-corruption agencies rely on the Executive to enact new legislation.
Over the weekend, he addressed at a national anti-corruption summit in Abuja.
According to Shittu: “When we were campaigning in 2015, we made the fight against corruption one of the three cardinal programs that we chose for ourselves. But I think the fact that we rely only on the existing structures without more has made it not too impressive by my own rating.
“What I’m saying is that the ICPC, the EFCC, or the Code of Conduct, should not wait for the Executive to initiate new laws.
“They, as people in the field, should think of what structures are required to enable them to do their jobs better and consequently, to initiate new legislation which will assist them.”
