We Are Hunting Down Corrupt Persons In Our Government – FG

The Federal Government has said no one found guilty would be spared in the fight against corruption and being a serving member of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Administration will not be a shield for any corrupt individual.

This was stated by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed today in Abuja.

Mohammed said this in reaction to allegations that there are corrupt personalities in some key government agencies and the implications on the anti-corruption fight, a cardinal programme of the Buhari government.

“The very fact that the administration can very transparently ask for members of the administration to be investigated, I think it is the clearest proof that this administration’s fight against corruption has no sacred cow and that nobody is exempt.

“Then, it is very convenient for the naysayers to try and twist the narrative.

“But, if we go deep down, most of the things that we were even investigating in some areas are things that predate this administration.

He noted that the aim is not to shift blame but to ensure that being a member of this administration will not be a shield for any corrupt individual.

The minister hailed the National Assembly for their cooperation and harmonious working relationship with the Executive.
