Dr. Yakassai laments over anti-corruption war, says Pres. Buhari is insincere

Dr Tanko Yakassai, has described the anti-corruption war of the Muhammadu Buhari led administration as a mere propaganda, adding that it is unfortunate that right thinking men like Prof. Wole Soyinka has been won over.

Dr. Yakassai, who is also the chairman of the Northern Elders’ Council chided the Buhari administration for its open disregard for valid court orders thereby urging him to obey all court injunctions 

relating to the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) and others being held in custody. He said:

“The Federal Government of Nigeria is only fighting Sambo Dasuki. Should the fight against corruption begin and end with Dasuki? Is he the only “corrupt” person? Till today, they have not even started his case in the court. He was granted bail twice and they refused to let him go. This is not a fight against corruption. It is a propaganda fight.

“They even convinced people like Prof. Wole Soyinka who now believes that there is a fight against corruption, but there is no such thing. Otherwise, how many people have they arrested?

“All the people that are arrested today are connected with Dasuki. No other person has been picked. What of the governors, ministers, top civil servants and local government officials? Can you fight one person and say you are fighting corruption?” he queried.
