Cleric to Buhari: Fighting corruption, not equalto improving Nigerians’ living standards

Worried by the debilitating state of Nigeria's
economy, the Pastor, New Dawn Baptist Church,
NDBC, Victoria Island, Lagos, Rev. Samson
Adedokun, has advised the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government not
to equate fighting corruption to progressively
improving the lives of Nigerians.
Reverend Adedokun, spoke to Vanguard in an
interview, as President Buhari marked his one
year in office last Sunday.
According to him, the war against graft must be
endorsed by all Nigerians, but spending all the
time today, on yesterday's crime, means
abandoning the seeds for tomorrow's
development.
Adedokun said: "It's time to remind the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led administration that
fighting corruption is not equal to progressively
improving the lives of Nigerians. To be clear, we
endorse the war against corruption. Infact, it
should be widened and faithfully prosecuted.
However, the current administration needs to
remember that spending all the time on
yesterday's crime today, means abandoning the
seeds for tomorrow's development.Read full story at Vanguard
