Corruption: SERAP want political leaders to show good example

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), yesterday charged political office holders across the country to show show good example to their teaming supporters so that the fight against corruption would be a success.
Speaking at the launch of a report on 'Citizens’ Guide to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission', SERAP through its Executive Director, Adetokunbo Mumuni argued that, "The war against corruption is a war for all of us and not for only those who are in position of power in the country."
Mumuni added that, "Despite some marginal improvements in the fight against corruption in Nigeria, high level official corruption remains widespread, and suspected perpetrators continue to enjoy impunity.
"Although some attention is now being drawn to local government level corruption, most known cases of corruption remain at the federal and state levels.
"Several allegations of corruption among local government officials are not adequately reported; and actions are rarely taken to redress the problem or to achieve accountability."
