The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engineer Babachir David Lawal on Monday declared that “Corruption” is the main opposition that government faces, today and not any political party.
He made the remarks in his office while receiving a delegation of a Coalition of Progressive Political Parties led by Mr. Ibrahim Yusuf Bashir of the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM).
According to him, the unusual but powerful opposition has enormous resources with which it has launched a propaganda war.
He, however assured that the government, because of its honesty, integrity and sincerity of purpose, will prevail in the anti-corruption war.
He said that the war will be won also because the people of Nigeria and God are behind the Buhari Administration.
Lawal, in a statement by the Director of Press in the Office of the SGF, Bolaji Adebiyi, said that what the federal government is now focused on good governance that will bring rapid development and growth to the nation.
He also reiterated his admiration and support to the Governor of Ebonyi State for the impressive development that is taking place in Ebonyi State, despite being in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
He assured that President Muhammadu Buhari is a meticulous, honest and just leader who will ensure that Nigerians, soon, will start enjoying the change that he promised during the 2015 elections campaign.
Mr. Bashir congratulated the government of President Buhari for the determination and efforts it has committed to fighting corruption in government.
He pledged the support of the all the political parties that form the coalition to the federal government in the war and stated that their position is driven by patriotic reasons.
He said emphasis must, indeed, be placed on the ethical revolution of the administration so that Nigerians can own the change agenda in all ramifications.
