The United State Secretary of State, John Kerry, has given President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign a pass mark in faraway Davos, Switzerland, at the ongoing World Economic Forum.
Mr Kerry in his speech at the forum, made reference to President Buhari’s fight against corruption in Nigeria and how individuals kept money meant for arms deal.
In his words: “It has been reported that over 50 people including government officials stole over $9 billion in Nigeria”.
He added that money that was meant for arms to fight the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, was kept by Generals in the most populous black nation in the world.
He further added that “today, corruption has grown at an alarming pace which threatens global growth, global stability and indeed the global future.
“There is absolutely nothing more demoralising, dis-empowering to any citizen than the belief that the system is rigged against them. Corruption is a radicalizer because it destroys faith in legitimate authority”.
