Although, The prisendent made it clear we shoul join him to fight against corruption and criminality in his administration, to make rhe country a better place.
Meanwhile, more details have emerged on why the EFCC is investigating some of the financial dealings of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode during his tenure as Lagos state chief executive.

many opaque deals that did not go through due process.
There are also allegations of the state’s commonwealth being diverted to private accounts in countries like Seychelles and Mauritius while the former governor was in charge.

“My charge to you today is to imbibe the culture of integrity, selflessness, patriotism and professionalism which NDA and EFCC are known for.
“With the political will of my administration in the last four years and the courage of EFCC chairman Ibrahim Magu, it’s possible to have a society where corruption is reduced.
“It’s my hope that you will join us in taking corruption and criminality out of governance so that our nation will be prosperous and safer for future generation.”
