Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, has expressed significant worries about Nigeria’s prevalent corruption.

He told reporters in Kano on Sunday that corrupt behaviours among politicians are becoming increasingly common. According to Ndume, “Corruption is our country’s primary concern. There is currently no law in place to combat the issue of corruption in the country, either proactively or reactively.

Otherwise, only in Nigeria can you take money, move about freely, and be celebrated.” He observed a disturbing social dynamic in which persons who have just obtained fortune are frequently respected, despite doubtful sources.
