According to him, there is need for a national consensus, especially among the political, religious and business elite, in accepting and implementing minimum ethical standards. “The religious elite must reinforce the ethical direction by showing that wealth and influence are built by hardwork, diligence and the deferment of gratification and not just by miracles. The religious elite must also reject and ostracise public officers and persons whose wealth cannot be explained or is clearly from shady or suspicious sources.”
He narrated stories of four of such alumni, who include the first Premier of the then Western Region, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo ; former President Olusegun Obasanjo; the late Chief MKO Abiola, the winner of June 12, 1993 presidential election, as well as one-time Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Bola Ajibola .
