Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has called for the fight against corruption to start with accountability at the highest levels of government, emphasizing that effective leadership is key to tackling the deep-rooted issue.
Obasanjo made the assertion during a virtual interactive session titled “Boiling Point Arena,” hosted by a private radio station in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The discussion focused on his achievements in office and his perspective on the challenges facing Nigeria.
“The best way of fighting corruption is starting from the head; that is where corruption has to be fought from,” Obasanjo stated. He highlighted the need for leaders to lead by example, demonstrating transparency and integrity to set a standard for the rest of the nation.
