So if we really want to make headway, then certainly, we must all have to change our attitude,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>He submitted that there was the need for Nigerians to consider themselves as part and parcel of the government despite the country\u2019s plurality and diversity in order to succeed in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, lamented that, \u201cbut more often than not, citizens don\u2019t do that because of our population, plurality and diversity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many people are really educated to understand that. How many people are really educated to understand the dynamics of the society? The dynamics of the economy? The implications of the economy on the larger population?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While saying that unless Nigerians move fast to kill corruption, the menace will kill the country, Malumfashi said people had to be convinced that corruption was a cancer that had to be attacked by all.<\/p>\n<p>He asserted that it was perhaps only President Buhari who was committed to the fight against corruption in his administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnemployment is there, political thuggery is there, pre and post-election violence is there. All these put together constitute a problem to the society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo people must be aware that yes, we are convinced that corruption is a cancer that must be attacked by all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t kill corruption, corruption will kill us. Incidentally, our President is the only person that is really committed to the fight against corruption whether other government officials are really doing so, is another question for another day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut really if we want to kill corruption, we must join hands together to fight corruption otherwise, corruption will kill us,\u201d Malumfashi warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
