Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) has said that Federal Government’s fight against corruption in the country is impartial, objective and non-discriminatory.

Malami, in a statement issued by his media aide Dr Umar Gwandu, described allegations on the use of the fight for political witch-hunting as unfounded, baseless and devoid of factual proof.

The Minister stated this while responding to claims contained in a letter allegedly written by a US senator commenting on the issue.

“The evidence on the ground establishes that the Federal Government’s operations in the fight against corruption are carried out without fear or favour,” Malami has said.

He added that, “members of the ruling or opposition parties and otherwise are in no way spared in view of numerical data of recorded judicial convictions”

Malami noted that the efforts to have a corrupt-free Nigeria are devoid of any political inclinations as recent convictions recorded were against the members of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and the opposition political party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The AGF maintained that unblemished record of successful performance in the fight against corruption has in effect established the conclusion that the allegation of political inclination is outright baseless and unfounded.
