PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to emulate two security men who returned a handbag filled with valuables forgotten at the Murtala Muhammed Airport by an American returnee, saying such conduct reflects the new Nigeria that we all desire.
He said with that attitude, “Nigeria will no longer be a byword for corruption and plundering of public resources. That is the path we have chosen to take, and our country will eventually get to a new shore,” President Buhari affirms.
According to a statement issued by Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina in Abuja on Wednesday, a Lagos-based medical doctor, Banji Oyegbami, had met a family returning from America at the airport on August 18, 2018. In the process of loading their luggage into the car of their host, the handbag of the returnee’s wife fell, unknown to anyone.
The statement added: “It was not till 90 minutes later that an officer of Halogen Securities, on duty at the airport, called the couple, to come for the retrieved bag.

“When the bag was eventually collected, the contents, including a handsome amount of American dollars, phone, wristwatch, and other valuables were intact. The grateful couple offered a generous gift, but Messrs Francis Emepueaku and Achi Daniel, declined, saying they were merely doing their duties.”
The statement said President Buhari believes that despite the scoffing of a minority number, Nigeria is resolutely on the road to a new dawn.
It quoted him as saying: “Honesty remains the best policy. We must exhibit such behaviour in whatever position we find ourselves, whether high or low.”
“The security men could have chosen to behave differently, following the self-serving principle of ‘if you can’t beat them, join them.’ But they have chosen to be examples of good, honest Nigerians. I commend their conduct to the rest of the country.”
The President urged Nigerians to bring out the best in themselves at all times, noting that with such minds, they can never be hoodwinked again by those who seek power for selfish and dubious reasons and return the country to an inglorious past.
True and confirm talk.
Corruption is not only stealing public funds but ethnic chauvinism, religious bigotry, favouritism, nepotism, deceit,injustice, inequality and impunity.Stolen funds can be recovered and replaced but the destroyed psyche of a nation can never be restored easily. The Buhari presidency perpetuated and personified the latter as against the former and that is not to say public funds are not stolen under his current regime, It is by few cabals. Buhari should go and rest because he is the most clueless and worst president Nigeria ever had. The earlier we tell this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations that Buhari’s incursion into politics has caused more damage than good to our polity and noble democracy, the better for the bright future of Nigeria and Nigerians.
