Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN) of Lagos State on Thursday lamented huge sums of money lost to corruption, saying the trend has drained the country.
Fashola spoke yesterday when chieftains and national leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the six geo-political zones converged on Abuja for the party’s inaugural national summit, where a ‘Roadmap To A New Nigeria’ was unveiled.
According to him, “Let there be no doubt about the link between corruption and job creation. If we had a government that is serious about fighting corruption, there would be financial resources to create jobs. Instead of stopping this corruption, this government pardons those convicted of corruption and removes those who point out corruption. Corruption has drained our national strength and we need change”.
Fashola said, “Corruption must no longer be tolerated in any corner of the nation; not in political life and not in business or civic affairs”.
Hmmmm!!!... Does he really have a point here?
