Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called on all Nigerians to work
towards kicking out corruption in the country. He made the call while
speaking with journalist at his home in Abeokuta, Ogun state to mark
Nigeria's 55th independence celebration yesterday October1st. According
to him;
"Corruption must not have resting place within our society. We must kick
corruption out because it destroys almost everything and I am not
talking about corruption of money.
Corruption of attitude, nepotism, favouritism, they
are corruption in different forms and all aspects of corruption must be
kicked out of our society"he said
He said at 55, Nigeria had not done badly as a country
".Fifty-five years in the life of a nation is comparatively young,
growing and when you look at the life and history of those that you may
call settled societies or reasonably mature countries, we are not doing
too badly. They have had missteps just like we are having missteps; they
have made mistakes and most of them have learnt from their mistakes” he
said.
