Lamido Sanusi II, Emir of Kano |
Sanusi made
the statement when the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption
Commission, led by its Executive Chairman, Muhuyi
Magaji, paid him a courtesy visit in his palace. He was also agitated over
how contractors conduct their businesses under substandard agreement, for
instance how contractors connive with some public office holders to siphon
national resources with high level of impunity.
He added: “But with our President Muhammadu Buhari’s high sense of
responsibility and doggedness, I am optimistic that things will
change for better. I am very hopeful that Mr. President will do everything
possible to fight corruption to a standstill.”
Moreover, the
highly revered monarch called on the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption
Commission to appreciate the need to collaborate with other sectors of the
society, by showing commitment and determination, in the fight against
corruption.
He said: “If you want to succeed in your newly assigned
responsibility, you must be ready to deal with corrupt officials. The fight
against corruption starts from the top, not from the bottom.”
Earlier, the
Executive Chairman of the commission, Muhuyi Magaji, disclosed that they were
at the Emir’s palace to seek his blessings and guidance, adding that the
commission would establish offices in all the 44 local government areas of the
state in order to galvanise their operations.
