My administration will make corr¥ption unattractive — President-elect Tinubu

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has promised that he will promote unity in Nigeria and be fair to all.

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has promised that his administration would put in place incentives and policies that would make corr¥ption unattractive for judges and other Nigerian workers.

Tinubu made the promise while inaugurating the Magistrates’ Court Complex in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday, May 4.

The president-elect said that what governor Nyesom Wike had done was a way of fi¥hting corr¥ption by making the judicial officers more comfortable.

According to him, “I think a different angle to what Wike has done here today is fi¥hting corr¥ption. This is the way to fi¥hting corr¥ption.

You don’t expect your judges to live in squalor, to operate in squalor; to dispense justice in squalor. This is part of the changes that are necessary in our policy tink-tank.

We must fi¥ht corr¥ption and we definitely must look at the other side of the coin. If you don’t want your judges to be corr¥pt, you got to pay attention to their welfare.

If you want fair dispensation of justice, you don’t want them to operate in hazardous conditions. Let’s think value for value. If I don’t have consumer credit and you want me to pay for the car I needed at once, N5 million, N6 million, driving temptation to corr¥ption.

But if you have consumer credit, then that will reduce the propensity to corr¥ption. We don’t want our judges to play foul, to compromise justice.

Not just the books, but do something. And I promise you, we are going to review all of these in our policy think-tank.

And that is what I intend to do on all policy formations coming up. I promise Nigerians the unity of this country is not negotiable.

That is what Nyesom Wike and I are promoting jointly. I promise I will be fair to all.”
