Former governor of Bauchi state, Isa Yuguda, has slammed Nigerians who branded the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as unconcerned about crises rocking the country.
Yuguda stated this on Channels Television programme, Sunrise Daily, on Monday.
The APC chieftain said the manifold crises in the country, including corruption, were inherited.
He hinted at an alleged monumental corruption by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and called for concerted efforts toward dealing with the scourge.
He said: “Corruption is an inherited problem and it is getting worse whether we like it or not. Unless Nigerians come to the reality that corruption is killing us, it will kill us finally. Everybody is corrupt, I’m afraid.
“The government has not failed because that was what was inherited. I was part of the previous government and I have seen corruption.
“This government came with the intention of fighting corruption headlong, but we don’t know the kind of landmines that were placed on the way to be disabled.
“So, if they failed in addressing it, it is a question of we tried and we failed. But corruption in Nigeria, I am telling you, is the problem and if we don’t address it, it will end up ending Nigeria.”
