Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, former police commissioner in Lagos state
Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, former police commissioner in Lagos state, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari that his supporters will disappoint him in the anti-corruption campaign.
Speaking with Daily Sun on Sunday, September 7, Tsav said: “While he (Buhari) has demonstrated his dislike for corruption and injustice, many of his followers in the states are deeply involved in corruption and injustices”.
Commenting on Buhari’s first 100 days in office, the former police commissioner insisted that some of the president’s supporters were like other politicians who had been termed corrupt. According to him, Buhari’s supporters “blend and cover their acts with lies”.
Tsav praised Buhari for a number of policy actions taken by his administration so far. However, he also urged the president to spare no one in his war against corruption.
“In order to succeed in the war against corruption, President Buhari should have no sacred cows. He should keep his words of belonging to everybody and belonging to nobody,” he stressed.
It is not the first time when the former police commissioner warns the president of Nigeria.
Following the many cases before the election tribunal across the country, Tsav and Abba Moro, the immediate past minister of interior, warned Presiden Buhari sternly not to interfere with the ongoing litigations of the 2015 general elections.
According to them, if the president does anything to impede the justice system, the action may cast aspersions on his person.
Meanwhile, Buhari has recently urged the Nigerian judiciary to actively cooperate with the government in the launched anti-corruption war.
