Human rights lawyer Femi Falana, (SAN), has urged President Bola Tinubu to show leadership in the fight against corruption by not sending the wrong signal on corruption cases.
Falana noted that some people going in and out of the Aso Rock Villa as visitors are standing trial for corruption.
Speaking as a guest at the 60th anniversary of the call to bar of Aare Afe Babalola in Ekiti State on Monday, the human rights lawyer lamented that the level of corruption in the country “has assumed a very dangerous dimension.”

The legal practitioner said, “I’m urging the president to lead an anti-corruption crusade so that the country – the largest concentration of black people on earth, can take its rightful place in the committee of nations.

“Highly-placed public officers steal money meant for building hospitals, and people are dying on our roads.

“Some of those who are going in and out of the villa are standing trial for looting the treasury of this country. So, wrong signals must not be sent to our people and the international community.”

Speaking further on why corrupt public office holders should be barred from holding positions in government, he referenced the administration of Nigeria’s former president and Chairman of the anniversary lecture, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR), noting that the administration fought against corruption.

Falana said, “There’s somebody here who was our president. If you were accused of corruption and your case was before the EFCC or the ICPC, you’ll not be appointed to a position of authority. We must go back to that era.”

Tinubu is a corrupt man so I'm not surprised that he's surrounding himself with corrupt people

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Isn't SAN n Judges like you that smacked the faces of law on the floor, with such quote that they are innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt by the law

Guys let's say the truth, the way politics is played here in Nigeria, expenses and other things that involves, 90 percent of our leaders are not saint, some are criminals, drug pushers, thieves e t c. Hardly can one put his or hard earn money after many years of struggling in to politics that's not sure of winning. I know of a business man in my state that was pushed into politics by some friends that want to chop his money, the man fainted and nearly have stroke after losing primaries, since then the man done lay low. Nigeria politics is not for the poor or legitimately made money. Politics is too expensive and that's why we will hardly have true leaders and keep getting looters cos their money will always be questionable. Imagine burning hard earn money in millions or even billion on politics and lose Omo na die now

Hehehe.

These has always been my fear with president Tinubu. If he is serious about fighting corruption,he must distance himself from these characters.

The way they visit these days is alarming.

Okay

What do you expect? That a father of corruption will not bring his children to the house?

What about Akpabio
