The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, yesterday said there is strong hope that Nigeria will surely break the yoke of corruption.
He said that since Nigerians are not defined by corruption, they cannot be defeated by it. Olukoyede expressed confidence in his Easter message to the nation that the war against corruption is winnable.
A statement by the Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Dele Oyewale, quoted Olukoyede as pleased with Nigerians to keep faith with the anti-graft agency.
The statement said: “The EFCC chairman expressed strong hope that Nigeria will surely break the yokes of corruption because ‘We are not defined by corruption, we cannot be defeated by it.”
He charged Nigerians to imbibe the lesson of Easter, which is about victory over trial, corruption, and death. “The lesson of Easter is all about undeniable victory over trial, corruption, and death. “This lesson is instructive for us as a nation. We will surely overcome the trial and trauma of corruption. We are not defined by corruption; we cannot be defeated by it,” he said.
He further charged Nigerians to keep hope alive and continue to keep faith with the EFCC in its relentless war against economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.
