” Nigerians are stronger than corruption. No corrupt act can break our common resolve and determination. We have all it takes to confront and conquer economic and financial crimes”, he said.
He congratulated muslims and charged them to allow lessons of self- denial, discipline, sacrifice, love and purity of the Ramaddan season imbued in them greater readiness and commitment to shun corrupt practices.
“At Eid- el- Fitr, Allah’s benevolence and sacrifice are greatly magnified. May the lessons of love, peace, joy and celebration of the festival abide in us and may they imbue in us greater desire to shun corrupt practices”, he said.
He also assured Nigerians that the anti- corruption war is on course, maintaining that the EFCC is gaining more strength and speed in bringing economic and financial crimes to a halt.
