Already Melaye has embarked on
international mobilization protest
against the alleged lukewarm
attitude of the Federal
Government in the fight against
corruption as he has gone out of
the country seeking the support
of Nigerians in the Diaspora to
participate in the protest by his
Anti-Corruption Network on the
streets of London in United
Kingdom and New York in the
United States.
The erstwhile member of House
of Representatives in a statement
he issues from New York
Tuesday made available to
newsmen in Abuja expressed
worry that some Ministers who
had been indicted by six
different reports but still serving
in the present government have
no business being in the cabinet
and should be sacked.
He said, “Corruption in Nigeria is
endemic, systemic and becoming
contagious. If we want to rescue
our country, we should stand up
without fear or Favour, the fear
of consequences and fight
corruption headlong because we
don’t have any other country we
call our own apart from Nigeria.
We must do everything to rescue
this country from the hands of
these economic cankerworms
and financial scavengers.
“So in essence, I was in London
last week and now in New York.
What we are doing is global
networking to host an anti-
corruption protest here in New
York. We have served the
government of America a letter
to get their permission to
organize a massive protest that
will internationalize the
corruption in Nigeria and also
help in fighting corruption.
