A Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has emphasised that the battle against corruption can only be effective and successful if it begins with accountability among top government officials.
The former president said that tackling corruption at the highest levels of leadership would set an example for others and demonstrate the government’s commitment to transparency and integrity.
He spoke during an interactive session on Zoom tagged “Boiling Point Arena.” hosted by a private radio station in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
Obasanjo described corruption as hydra-headed and one that has eaten deep into the fabric of Nigerian society, emphasising that the fight against corruption must start with leadership for it to succeed.
