Buhari Begs Lawyers to Support Anti-Graft War

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday begged lawyers to support the anti-corruption war of the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government.Buhari said this at the Kaduna branch of the Nigerian Bar Association’s Law Week with the theme, “The fight against corruption: the role of the Bar and the Bench,” in Kaduna.
He reminded the lawyers how some of their colleagues almost frustrated a similar crusade he embarked upon as the military Head of State in 1984.The President was represented on the occasion by his Senior Special Adviser on Legal Matters, Prof. Adamu Usman,
He noted that his second coming should receive the necessary support from lawyers to succeed so that the country would be rid of corruption.
In his keynote address, Usman told his colleagues that history would remain unkind to them if they failed to do everything possible to rid the nation of corruption, saying that “whenever history repeats itself, it carries vengeance and calamity in its fist and teeth.”
He also urged the lawyers to play their part in ensuring that corruption was kicked out of the country, “the way the military is pushing out Boko Haram insurgency and other security challenges out of the country.”
