President Muhammadu Buhari
President
Muhammadu Buhari is reported to be searching for people of integrity to
be appointed as ministers. For me, it seems that the President has not
yet realised that with the system we operate in this country, a
seemingly saintly person can easily embrace corruption if things remain
unchanged. A Yoruba adage says, “If a child finds honey, he will throw
away his akara”.
It goes without saying that if the
President finally settles with those he considers good enough and our
institutions remain what they have always been, then it will not too
long before the ministers come face to face with “honey” and will easily
throw away their “akara”. So, let the President embark on the
reformation of our institutions so that even “Alibaba and the 40
thieves” would have no choice but to work for and serve Nigeria with
integrity.
Adekunle Opeyemi.
