The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has promised to fight corruption by focusing more on preventive measures if elected as president in the 2023 election.
Part of his strategy, he said, woulld be putting a system for effective wealth redistribution in place, to greatly reduce the temptation to commit corruption.
Mr Tinubu, a former two-term former governor of Lagos Sate, made this in a statement on Monday, during a discussion with the Arewa Joint Committee in Kaduna. According to him, the socio-economic challenges the country faces are deeply rooted in corruption.
Nigeria is currently ranked 154th out of 180 nations assessed in the latest Transparency International’s 2021 Corruption Perception Index (CPI). In the report released in January, Nigeria scored 24 out of 100, a point lower than its performance in the previous 2020 CPI report.
“Distinguished audience, ladies and gentlemen, it is a consensus among our citizens that the socio-economic challenges we are faced with as a country are deeply rooted in the menace of corruption,” Mr Tinubu said.
