Corruption
By Aminu Ahmed Garko
Bida(Niger) Rev. Canon Samuel Kaburuk of Cathedral Church of St. John, Bida in Niger, on Friday advised Nigerians to support the Federal Government’s efforts to rid the nation of corrupt tendencies.
Kaburuk gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bida.
He regretted the destruction by the menace over the years, and described the current efforts to eliminate it as “very commendable”.
“Corruption and its negative tendency to `get-rich-quick’ has practically brought Nigeria to its knees. We must all come together to kill it before it kills us a nation,” he said.
Kaburuk regretted that Nigeria had remained stagnant over the years, and challenged its nationals to work toward a nation they would be happy and proud to bequeath to future generations.
He called on Nigerians to join the prayers for the recovery of President Mohammadu Buhari, and advised that political and religious differences should not be barriers to the quest for divine intervention.
“Our Diocese has continued to offer special prayers for God to intervene on the two fronts – the president’s health and the economic recession; we should all be doing that,” he said. (NAN)
