Buhari urged to fight institutional corruption

Date: 2016-10-10

An Ilorin based legal practitioner, Barr Ab­dulAkeem Mustapha (SAN) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to in­stitutionalise the war against corruption to achieve the change mantra he promised Nigerians.

Ha also urged the National Assembly to pass a law that will ensure that cases are con­cluded at the Court of Appeal instead of getting to the Su­preme Court to sanitise the country's judicial system.

In an interaction with journalists in Ilorin at the weekend, Kwara State, Mus­tapha said that there is clear difference between fighting corrupt people and institu­tional corruption. He, there­fore, admonished the Federal Government to ensure that the right people are put in the right positions in the coun­try's anti-graft agencies with­out ethnic or political bias.

According to him, even the United States has amended almost all the clauses in her constitution as it is a living document. The National As­sembly should enact a law that will ensure that most court cases end in the court of Appeal instead of the Su­preme Court as it is appli­cable in USA and the United Kingdom.

He said, "It is only in the Nigerian Supreme Courts that we have the highest num­ber of cases all over the world while countries like United States that have a population of over 400 million people only has seven Supreme Court justices and everything is moving on smoothly and they handle cases effectively."

Mustapha who commend­ed the efforts of the present administration in the fight against corruption, urged the government to put in place a functional institution and have a frame work that will not only forestall corruption, but make the system to be much more efficient and ef­fective.
