Former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau has lauded the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for its fight against corruption.

He lauded the President while speaking with journalists in Sokoto on Monday.

“The efforts by the president to fight corruption in all its ramifications is good for Nigeria. Anybody, who gets any money fraudulently should be arrested, thoroughly investigated and prosecuted,” he said.

“I am a strong advocate of anti-corruption fight, as I set up an anti corruption and public complaints commission in Kano State in 2005.”

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), however, cautioned against selective justice in the anti-corruption war.

Shekarau said that no corrupt person should be spared in the anti-corruption war of the present government.

“Nobody should be above the law in this direction; there should also be respect, adherence and respect for the rule of law.

“You are innocent until you are proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt,” he said.

He also called for improved funding of the country’s security agencies.

On agriculture, the former governor called for the reintroduction of commodity boards in the country.

He said: “This will add value to farming, boost food security and encourage farmers. Food security is next to nothing and any nation that fails to provide it remains weak and vulnerable.”
