The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, says Nigerians condemn corruption yet rally behind corrupt leaders when they are being prosecuted.
Olukoyede said underdevelopment would be a thing of the past if every citizen sees corruption as a common enemy.
“Everybody is crying that Nigerians are corrupt, that the system is corrupt; that corruption is killing us and destroying our system,” he said while receiving officials of the Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC), led by Chris Olukolade, on Friday in Abuja.
According to Olukoyede, collaboration and synergy with the CCC will boost strategic communication and public engagement, adding that public support is crucial to the EFCC’s success.
He stated the EFCC will partner to raise public awareness on its activities and the importance of integrity among Nigerians.
“When we investigate high profile cases and arraign people in court, the same people will carry placards and be supporting corrupt leaders. It doesn’t show that we are serious about this fight. The fight is supposed to be a collaborative effort.
