Chief Ugochukwu Nnam, National Coordinator, Initiative for Leadership Development and Change (ILDC), has called on Nigerians to show solidarity with President Bola Tinubu’s anti corruption efforts.

Nnam told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday that President Tinubu deserved accolades for investigating and unraveling corruption in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

He explained that President Tinubu’s directives to investigate Godwin Emefiele was a testament of the President’s commitment to a corrupt-free Nigeria.

Nnam, who congratulated Nigerians on the democracy day celebration, called for an alliance against corruption, irrespective of tribal or religious affiliation.

According to him, corruption is cancerous and it does not do any one any good, no matter the tribe or religion.

He urged Nigerians to discard tribal cards and support Tinubu to thoroughly stamp out corruption in the country.

“Allow and support President Tinubu to fight corruption squarely without fear or favour.

“Corruption in the Central Bank was so obvious because it impacted negatively on the Nigerian currency which exchanged for over 700 naira to a dollar,” he said.

Nnam described President Tinubu as a true democrat whose antecedents of unwavering commitment to democracy could not allow corruption to impede democratic practice.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Godwin Emefiele, former CBN Governor, was arrested by DSS recently for allegations of corruption. (NAN) www.nannews.ng
