We Need To Consult An Oracle To Fight Corruption In Nigeria — Honourable Yunusa Ahmad
Honourable Yunusa Ahmad, a member of the House of Representatives, has revealed what needs to be done to combat the country’s endemic corruption.
Yunusa Ahmad stated that it was critical to consult an oracle in order to put an end to the scourge. Ahmad made the revelation on Thursday in Abuja while fielding questions from journalists at the African Debt and Development Conference (AfCoDD II 2022) organized by the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ).
Honourable Yunusa Ahmad insisted that the country had adequate anti-corruption laws in place, but lamented that the act of stealing had become so refined that it was difficult to trace anything through paper. Ahmad went on to say that the National Assembly had been performing its oversight duties and was passing relevant laws in tandem with the reality.

“We played our roles. First, we assumed there were allegations of corruption. First, we check, is it the law that did not plug the loopholes? We look at the law, study them and then evolve laws that will be in tandem with the reality or modernity.
In over-sighting too, we try to ascertain to what extent are the laws being obeyed. We discovered everything is there. In Nigeria, when you are trying to find fault through the papers, you will never get anything because the papers are neat.
But when it comes to practical issues, that is why mystique is there. Last week, you heard when termites ate billions, sometimes we had snake swallow some money in JAMB. So, we really need to consult the oracle. The issue here is that the National Assembly is doing its job,” Yunusa Ahmad said.
