Nigerians Walk Against Corruption: Mixed Reactions Follow
On Thursday July 11, 2024, Nigerians participated in a nationwide walk against corruption led by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Ola Olukoyede. The event aimed to raise awareness and combat corruption in Nigeria.
However, it received mixed reactions on social media. Critics questioned the effectiveness of the walk in reducing corruption and accused the EFCC of not effectively prosecuting corrupt politicians. Some called for the arrest and prosecution of specific politicians, such as Yahaya Bello, and expressed skepticism about the EFCC’s ability to tackle corruption.
The EFCC’s efforts were also criticized for focusing on ordinary citizens and Yahoo Boys rather than politicians. Despite the criticism, the walk was seen as a symbolic gesture to unite Nigerians against corruption.
