Secretary-General of the pan- Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Chief Sehinde Arogbofa has called on Nigerians to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari on his fight against corruption.

Arogbofa, who doubles as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman Governing Council, Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, also said there was need for the President to implement the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference.

According to him, it was the only way forward for the country.

He made this observation while delivering a lecture at the 16th Founder’s Day Lecture of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, entitled, “Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin and his Dream of an Incorruptible Society: The Man and His Mantra.”

He said, “ So far, the President has been saying it loud and clear, wherever he goes either in the country or outside the country like recently in Delhi, that he would fight corruption to a standstill.

”Good. But he should not be pre-occupied with fighting economic corruption alone; he must throw his searchlight on moral corruption and come up with a moral rearmament programme to make his crusade on economic revolution take root and succeed.

“Our economy has been ruined by corruption. Unemployment and nepotism are cankerworms destroying the fabric of the society and are twin sisters of corruption.

“President Buhari must confront them headlong and set a template for fair play and justice in resolving them. Here again, Nigerians should support him for he must not fail.”

The Guest Lecturer added, “corruption and nepotism will be reduced if we run a true federal system of government that we have all along been asking for since independence. President Buhari must give it a chance.”
