Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of using the fight against corruption as an excuse to attack opposition leaders. He believes Tinubu’s government is not serious about ending corruption but is instead targeting people who do not support him.
Many Nigerians are now asking: Is Tinubu really fighting corruption, or is he only going after his enemies? Let’s look at the facts.
Atiku, who ran against Tinubu in the 2023 election, says the president is using anti-corruption agencies to go after opposition members while protecting his allies.
The government is focusing on punishing only opposition politicians.
Corrupt officials who support Tinubu are not being investigated.
A real fight against corruption should be fair to everyone, not just used against political enemies.
Atiku’s statements come at a time when many opposition members are facing corruption charges, making people wonder if these cases are truly about corruption or just politics.
President Tinubu has promised to fight corruption, but many people think he is being selective.
Several opposition leaders have been accused of corruption and taken to court. While corruption should never be allowed, many wonder why only opposition members are being targeted.
There are reports of corruption involving people in Tinubu’s government, yet no action has been taken against them. This raises questions about whether the fight against corruption is real or just political revenge.
Many Nigerians believe that Tinubu’s government is only fighting corruption when it benefits him politically. People want a fair system where everyone is treated equally, no matter which party they belong to.
For Nigeria to progress, corruption must be fought fairly. If the government only punishes its enemies and protects its friends, people will lose trust in the system.
To fight corruption properly, the government must:
Punish corrupt officials from all parties.
Let anti-corruption agencies work independently, without political influence.
Be open and honest with the people.
