Cleric lauds President Buhari for fighting corruption

The Chairman, Imam Forum in Niger, Sheik Ibrahim Fari, on Monday, lauded the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari for fighting corruption in the country.

Fari told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna that already the forum had embarked on the sensitisation of its members to embrace the whistle blower policy of the Buhari Administration.

He described the introduction of the whistle blower policy as one of the best things that had happened to the nation in recent times.

“We will continue to educate our members on the importance of fighting corruption through the whistle blower policy by exposing all those, who looted our treasury’’.

Fari said that the recent recovery of public funds through the whistle blowing effort would  greatly assist in fighting corruption to a halt.

“We will also use the religious point of view on what God said about stealing public funds to reach out to our people,’’ he said.

Fari observed that corruption was purely responsible for the present economic recession in the country.

“We must fight corruption to a logical conclusion by supporting the Federal Government’s war against corruption,’’ he said.

Fari also called on the Federal Government to introduce a security system that would guarantee the safety of Nigerians, who exposed looters.

“The government should ensure a security measure to safeguard the lives of those, who offer intelligence information about corrupt public officers,’’ he said.
