A governor of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his resolve to tackle corruption in public service, which many have said has slowed development in the country.
The governor, Ben Ayade of Cross River State, expressed his support for Buhari and described his war against corruption as “perfect”.
Ayade made this comment after a closed-door meeting with the President at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
“The anti-corruption war is perfect. Those who know the pains, hardship and frustrations that Nigerians have passed through will agree with me on this.
“As a nation, there is so much in terms of natural resources and the people are so poor.
“It is only obvious that any serious government must take the issue of corruption seriously, and I think that is why today Nigeria is beginning to have national and international image that looks like Nigeria is getting prepared for business.
“That is why investments are flowing into Cross River State, that is a sign that the anti-corruption war is actually working and it is giving Nigeria the international image that we need,” he said.
It would be recalled that the PDP has criticised this administration’s anti-corruption crusade as selective and unfair.
