See Buhari's Reaction To Transparency International Ranking

President of the federal republic of Nigeria reacted to the rank published by Ransparenctpy International

The Transparency International, a body designed to “combat global corruption with civil societal anti-corruption measures and to prevent criminal activities arising from corruption” has, in recent times, fallen out with the Nigerian government. In this regard, after Nigeria dropped to 148 from 144 in its 2018 Corruption Perception Index, two years after it declared war on corruption, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said that the Presidency had rejected its rank.

As much as I respect Transparency International, I don’t think we necessarily need them to authenticate what is going on in the country; because we, Nigerians, know that there is a war against corruption ongoing and that war is succeeding.

“There are strides being taken. It may not be there yet, and we are not there, but we are on the way there. So, let no agency from any part of the world come to think that whatever it says is the gospel to us,” Adesina he said.
