The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption will step on big toes.

The comment was made today, December 11, 2015, by the Senior Special Assistant to Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu at the opening of a three-day retreat organised for State House correspondents in Kaduna.

“President Buhari has embarked on an anti-corruption campaign that is bound to offend many. Big toes will be stepped on, personal interests will be cast aside,” Shehu said.

“As the popular saying goes, when you fight corruption, corruption fights back. Yes, anti-corruption is a war. And the press can help President Muhammadu Buhari to win that war.

“You (the press) are one of the government’s most lethal weapons in this battle against the forces that aim to pull down Nigeria. The power of the media, if they have any power at all, lies in their ability to expose wrong-doing.
“This power of exposure is a far more effective deterrent in many countries, including our own, than the court systems that deliver judgment and not necessarily justice.

“If they know that they will be exposed, many crimes will not happen and herein lies the challenge of the media under Buhari administration. Use your power to expose wrong-doing; the days of impunity are gone. This is the best way to help the change, now that we have a government with the will and capacity to right all wrongs,” he added.
