Corruption in Nigeria: Obi-Datti Responds to Femi Kuti

Contrary to the claims by the Afro beat exponent, Femi Fela Kuti that he is not fully convinced about the Candidacy of the Labour Party Candidate, Mr Peter Obi because he has not spoken about Corruption, the Obi-Datti campaign Organization of the party has said that both Obi and his running mate Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad have sufficiently explained their understanding of Nigeria corruption and how to uproot it in our system.

This was contained in a press release made available to The Starlite Newspapers recently. According to the organization, the great Musician was perhaps expecting the old order where issue of corruption dominated discussions in our polity but ended up getting worse.

It said: “Obi has said it for umpteenth times that corruption in Nigeria is entrenched because of poor leadership at the top. Corruption will vanish in Nigeria the moment the President and any members of his family, friends and associates are channeled to act properly with public funds.

“It’s not enough to be shouting I will wipe corruption when corrupt money is guiding and directing all your activities in and out of power and corrupt persons as your sponsors and shields”.

The organization said that Obi has personal antecedents on corruption, in private sector where he was the youngest Nigerian to Chair the board of a post consolidation bank and for eight years as Governor of Anambra state where he left huge sums of money in investment and cash with no trace of embezzling public funds adding the the records should be the focus of Fela Kuti especially as Obi and his running mate have verifiable background and track records.
