No One Can Convince Me That Buhari’s Government Is Fighting Corruption – Alhaji Unagha

A presidential aspirant of All Progressives Congress, APC in 2019 general elections, Alhaji Mumakai Unagha has come out to say that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government is more corrupt than that of ex President, Shehu Shagari civilian administration.

Alhaji Mumakai Unagha recently revealed that President Buhari’s popularity has actually reduced because of his weak regime.

According to him, the fact that nothing is working proves that PMB needed to have retired quietly to Daura, his hometown, after his first tenure.

Unagha added that no one can convince him that the current government is fighting corruption because all he sees is lip service.

His words, “Nobody will convince me that the government is fighting corruption, it is all lip service and window dressing exercise. How on earth a government that pride itself very high in the war against corruption, yet, corruption is still the order of the day.”

“Corruption in this administration to me seems to have been more than what prevailed in the Alhaji Shehu Shagari administration that led to his being sacked. This, I stand to be corrected, Mr President said those he trusted, betrayed the trust, I am wondering why he still retains them in the government or still allowing them to remain in office.

“The integrity of Mr President is not in doubt, the issue centres on his age and the dynamism of his ability to take charge of his government. He trusted his men for too long. One cannot access his ministers, yet we are in one party. Nigeria is heading to a total collapse, gradually sliding down as a failed state without direction unless urgent steps are taken to address the ailing economy.”

“I have been privileged to have an audience with Buhari on two occasions, I wonder if this is the President I used to know. Losing popularity is an understatement because he is surrounded by people he trusted destroying and giving his administration a bad title that he does not deserve.

“Do you know that there are some traditional rulers and faceless agents duping suspected political appointment seekers in disguise that they are close to President Buhari? They stay in a five-star hotel in Abuja making people believed that they are close to the Villa. Even top political appointees have their agents in strategic places where they collect money in the name of appointments.

“They have digitised their modules and apparatus of defrauding politicians, including APC members that worked tirelessly for Mr President seeking for political appointments. The President I know is a man of honour, integrity, transparency, therefore, he should not allow some hawks to destroy all that he has labored to build, over these years.

“I must not limit myself to the federal level alone, but what is happening at the various states are even worse, the exception of some states like Rivers and few others. If you see how these state governors rush to Abuja to collect allocation, yet nothing in their states to show for it, is very disappointing. I must give kudos, to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, who I may describe here as the real lion of Niger Delta.”
