Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed yesterday dismissed calls for President Muhammadu Buhari to resign, saying he was winning the war on corruption
and, in five years, had recovered funds in excess of N800 billion and recorded over 1,400 convictions.
Mohammed, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja, lamented that many, especially naysayers, “have misinterpreted these developments as a sign that the administration’s fight against corruption is waning. In fact, the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party has latched on to the developments to call for the resignation of Mr. President, a call that is nothing but infantile”.
“President Buhari, the African Union’s Anti-Corruption Champion, who also has an impeccable reputation globally, remains the driver of the fight and no one, not the least the PDP under whose watch Nigeria was looted dry, can taint his image or reverse the gains of the fight. Anyone who disagrees that the anti-corruption fight is alive and well is free to dare us,” Mohammed said.
