Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has said some looters are now presenting themselves as saviours of the country.
The minister said this in Abuja at the inauguration of the Anti-Corruption Situation Room (ACSR).
Mohammed also said some of the people accusing the current administration of being selective in the war against corruption are apologists for treasury looters.
“Once Nigerians take possession of the war, there will be no more hiding place for the corrupt,” he said.
“Those accusing the administration of engaging in a selective anti-corruption fight will be exposed for who they are: apologists for treasury looters!’
“Those who turned our treasury to their piggy bank are once again presenting themselves as the saviours of the nation.
“They say the best time for Nigeria was when the proceeds of their corruption subsidised many and gave the illusion of economic boom. They are so emboldened as to say Nigerians are earnestly yearning for them. No contrition.
“No apologies, no shame, just sheer bravado, unbridled arrogance and revisionism. The CSOs, the media and indeed all stakeholders owe it a duty not to allow Nigerians to forget to say ‘Never Again’ to those who view Nigeria as nothing but a cash cow to be milked to death.’’
