A Second Republic legislator, Pa
Ayo Fasanmi, has said that the trial of former President Goodluck Jonathan for
corruption charges is a matter of time.
The nonagenarian politician, who
spoke with our correspondent in a telephone interview, on Tuesday, however,
said Nigerians should not be in a hurry to see the trial of Jonathan commence.
He said, “What comes round, goes
around. Nigerians should be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari. The trial
of the former President is bound to happen. How can you have security chiefs
under your watch being indicted for corruption charges and you won’t have to be
quizzed too?
“President Buhari is only taking
his time. It is only a matter of time. It is unfortunate that Nigeria is now
being referred to as the Federal Republic of Corruption. The security chiefs
couldn’t have acted alone.
“President Buhari is on a silent
revolution. He needs the support of every right-thinking Nigerian. By the grace
of God, he will succeed.”
Describing corruption as one of
the greatest challenges confronting the country, Fasanmi, who hails from
Oye-Ekiti, lamented that the phenomenon had taken a frightening dimension.
Fasanmi, who was elected into the
House of Representatives in 1983 to represent Ondo-North federal constituency
on the platform of the defunct Unity Party of Nigeria, says no one knows how
the ongoing anti-corruption campaign would end.
“Buhari is sent by God. He
contested repeatedly and failed to clinch the Presidency. But he didn’t relent.
I believe God has sent him to clean the country. At the end of the day,
everybody will be happy,” Fasanmi said.
