Selectivity In The Anti-corruption War

[list] Selectivity in the anti-corruption war ByIdang Alibi[/ul] I have noticed that each time something is said negatively about the former EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu, the main charge against him is always that he selectively victimized the enemies of the former President Olusegun Obasanjo under whom he served while it is grudgingly conceded to him that he did a good job. I am tired of hearing this charge of selectivity. I am not here saying that it is right for certain known criminals to be exempted from facing the law while some others for whatever reasons are made to account. What I just want to point out is that given the nature of human beings, accusation of selectivity will always be heard. My own anger is that we Nigerians are spending too much time on arguments about which criminals were overlooked and which ones accosted.

I suppose we could also say the same for selective journalism, Since Dele Giwa left the scene all we here about are journalists who get gratuities and land allocations in Abuja and reward their pay masters with soft landing articles.

We can speak all the English we but that will not change Nigeria. There is a time to renovate a house and there is a time to tear it down and rebuild - when the foundation has been seriously undermined.

If zero tolerence for corruption means allowing corrupt governors to go free, then where will the zeal to change Nigeria come from?
