A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, Hon. Jonathan Vatsa has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the cabal in his cabinet to enable him effectively prosecute the fight against corruption.

Vatsa, a former Commissioner for Information in the state stated this while speaking with journalists in Minna, Niger State. He stressed that Nigerians would never believe in the President’s fight against graft if corrupt persons were still holding positions in his administration.

Vatsa said: “I am saying this to President Buhari, until you do away with the cabals, Nigerians will never take your anti-corruption war seriously.

“President Buhari must have the political will to eject his kinsmen and the cabals who have hijacked the government and inject new people, especially technocrats with new ideas who are ready to reshape the country.

“His silence has kept many Nigerians in doubt whether he meant all the promises made during campaigns and after his resumption in office. We worked for the APC and what we envisaged is not what we are witnessing.

“President Buhari should keep to his words especially in his inaugural speech when he said ‘I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.’

Vatsa added: “Until he can do away with them, Nigerians can never believe that he is fighting corruption. He should prove to us that he is ready to save Nigeria.”
