President Goodluck Jonathan
simply MUST act against large-scale corruption which has become endemic in our
polity.
The stench from the
corruption in our contraption reaches up to the high heavens and serves to make
advancing the cause of national integration a more onerous task.
Agreed, this vile practice
permeates all levels of governance, be it Federal, State or Local Councils, and
sectors in our country, Public and or Private, and the argument can be made that most corrupt practices occur outside the purview of Presidential authority, the enormity of powers vested in
the Office of President of the Federal Republic accords the Office authority to stem
the horrible tide and bring perpetrators to justice.
This accounts for my repeated query as to the whereabouts of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice - someone ought to be giving advice as to how to address this debilitating disease and adapting the more than sufficient provisions in our domestic statutes as anti-corruption tools.

Clearly, considering the free-for-all
situation in the looting enterprise, the leadership of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission and other agencies charged with tackling the
corruption behemoth are either out of their depths or have chosen to be
accomplices to graft,
There is always an extent
to which a cow, no matter how well endowed it is, can be milked…..
