2 min read

“The truth is that it is difficult to tame corruption where the federating units virtually run on free federal allocations that some people see as national cake.”

–          Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate President, on why Nigeria must be restructured (Source: The Punch)

“It’s not about whether there’s anything wrong with the accounts of the Akwa Ibom state government! Why should the EFCC look into it? Is the state looking into the federal government account?”

–          Attorney General of Akwa Ibom State, Uwemedimo Nwoko, arguing that EFCC, being a federal agency, is not empowered by the Nigerian Constitution to investigate the finances of Akwa Ibom which is a “federating Unit” within the Nigerian federation. A state high court in Akwa Ibom has given an interim injunction, restraining the anti-corruption agency from investigating the state government accounts (Source: Premium Times)

“If a man who steals chicken is not spared, how do you spare some­body that stole billions or millions of naira? Looters should be pun­ished and there should be no plea bargaining: Plea bargaining will (only) provide escape route for looters.”

–          Hassan Sunmonu, former President, Nigeria Labour Congress, bares his thoughts on the President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war (Source: The Sun)

“Ndigbo are joint landlords of Nigeria and cannot leave it for anybody but will only continue to seek justice, equity and fair play for all Nigerians in general and Ndigbo in particular.”

–          Mazi Alex Okemiri, the leader of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, said in a statement which called on various Igbo groups in Nigeria to stop agitating for self determination (Source: The Nation)

“Thank God I am back, I feel happy to be back.”

–          Adams Oshiomhole, the governor of Edo State, responding to the comment by Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the PDP candidate for the 2016 governorship election in the state, that he (Ize-Iyamu) will probe Mr. Oshiomhole’s administration if he wins the election (Source: The Nation)
