A single true leader can fight bribing and corruption. I could remember during the military regime of our ex-president Buhari, Tunde Idiagbon, the former Vice President of Nigeria and a well discipline man, did his best to fight against corruption then and it works. Even when Buhari was first democratically elected, fear exist between his cabinet as they think he won't allow corruption just as his military regime but he didn't as he himself was also a corrupt leader. Reducing or eradicating corruption isn't something that can be easily done anymore as this now exist in all areas and sector of the country. And has grown more power among both children and adults. Only a well discipline, dedicated and no non-sense man like Idiagbon can work things out.
Buhari tried to fight corruption with many policies like the single treasury account(STA),many multiple accounts were used to collect tax from the state to Federal but when he comes on board he introduced the STA, to reduce corruption, whereby all allocation to the federal account must go through just a single account. because money was diverted to individual accounts. it was a good move by the president buhari to combat corruption  in Nigeria, and his whistle bowling policy, was still very good for his fight against corruption, but the cabal fought him and frustrated these policies yet he never bent to them till he leaves office, under Buhari contractors did their job because of fear, unlike when they will collect money and eat without doing the job. under Buhari all jobs was done according, because he commands respect and fear based on his military regime.

I don't see Buhari has someone that fought against corruption in this is last regime. He did that during his military regime and this was easily accomplished by his second in command "General Tunde Idiagbon". Although their was fear at first during his first democracy regime but when they observed he isn't here like he was in his military regime, everyone chance and start again with their corrupt practices.

But Tinubu has removed Abuja from the STA arrangement for his ally wike to steal money, he said it in his speech at his 73th birthday that wike asked him to remove Abuja from STA arrangement and he did. i was so pissed up to hear such thing from the president, it shows he is supporting corruption in the county.

I don't see this man as someone that has any special things to offer our nation. My plead is to leave the country the he met it if he can't make it better.
