Don't limit corruption fight to few Nigerians, start with your government - Obasanjo tells Buhari

Former president, Obasanjo wants President Buhari to begin his anti-corruption crusade with himself, the vice president, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, before extending same to other Nigerians.

He said this on Friday as special guest at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, during the institution's Staff Club's interactive programme tagged ''Seventh Roundtable with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Reflections of an Elder Statesman.''

Obasanjo was responding to a question from a student on his view about Buhari led-government.

He said, ''The president promised he will fight corruption. And there is no doubt that he has shown that he is willing to fight corruption. Corruption is a hydra-headed monster. I believe very much that fighting corruption just has to start from the top. That is, from the president, the vice president, the senate president, the speaker of the House, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).''
