Buhari’s regime out of Steam to tackle corruption – Soyinka

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has expressed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has run out of steam in the fight against corruption and has resulted in the manipulation of the judiciary by powerful people in the country.

He said this while speaking in an interview on AIT’s Kakaaki on Wednesday.

Soyinka expressed that the system had become corrupted so badly that court cases were being stretched out through technicalities.

He said: “There are so many people who should be in prison if this government had not run out of steam, and so the system is being manipulated.

“There are cases where the prosecution had reached the level where evidence had been given on governors who had been stealing and depositing in bits and pieces so as not to flout a certain regulation.

“I mean cases have been taken to that level and suddenly, silence. The EFCC, which I backed solidly ever since the days of (Nuhu) Ribadu, in all kinds of ways; we no longer can distinguish from rights and left.”

  1. President Buhari really disappointed us because the way people are embezzling money is even more than the Jonathan administration, may God help us.

  2. Not only corruption, there are so many things that is going wrong under the president buhari administration which he is not ready to correct.

  3. They lost there steam long long time ago, and we don’t have efcc. Because they are worst than the people they are fighting

  4. I don’t think he can do more than these because his body language is not working here in Nigeria, no more EFCC again except for internet looking those Yahoo guys.
