In a recent interview, prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) member Osita Okechukwu praised President Bola Tinubu’s anti-corruption efforts, hailing them as a beacon of hope for the nation and a much-needed lifeline for the masses.
Speaking at the Enugu airport, Okechukwu emphasized the urgent need to liberate the country from the grips of a wealthy minority that had squandered vital resources intended for industrial development, resulting in widespread poverty.
Recounting the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s scrutiny of foreign exchange utilization for industrialization, Okechukwu stressed the necessity of reclaiming misappropriated funds, drawing parallels to past instances of national wealth mismanagement.
He lauded the recent actions of the EFCC, including their investigation of major corporate entities, and highlighted the significance of these efforts in fulfilling the promise made by First Lady Senator Remi Tinubu to utilize the country’s resources for the greater good.
Okechukwu articulated that sustained anti-corruption measures led by President Tinubu were vital for averting economic turmoil, preventing the mass exodus of healthcare professionals, and erasing the paradox of Nigeria being the world’s poverty capital despite producing some of the continent’s wealthiest individuals.
Asserting that President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to the anti-corruption campaign symbolized “pure hope renewal,” Okechukwu called for unwavering public support to propel the nation towards equitable wealth distribution, in line with the constitutional mandate outlined in Section 16(2)(c) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
By casting President Tinubu as a catalyst for unexpected change and transformation, Okechukwu underscored the importance of unity and endorsement for the President’s anti-graft endeavors, as a crucial step toward consolidating Nigeria’s economic resurgence.
