Nigerians in the United Kingdom have expressed their support
for President Muhammadu Buhari’s crusade to rid the country of
corruption.

Chairman of the Association of Nigerian Entrepreneurs, UK, Mr.
Charles Sylvester, said the President’s move would instill
discipline in the country’s accounting system, arguing that
Nigerians could not afford to allow corruption to destroy the
very fabrics of the society.

Sylvester, who is also the vice chairman of the Central
Association of Nigerians in the UK, told newsmen in Jos on
Monday that critics of the President’s anti-graft campaign did
not wish the country well.

He said, “I dare say that we in the Diaspora are monitoring
everything that the present administration is doing and we
support it 100 per cent. We can no longer sit aloof and watch
the country sink to the abyss. Everything that the President is
doing is in order and we enjoin all Nigerians to support him.

“We have been watching keenly how the President is trying to
reposition the economy and we appreciate all his efforts. We
call on all Nigerians to support our President and we in the
Diaspora will do everything in our power to support him.

Sylvester appealed to the government to ensure the
establishment of the Diaspora commission, so that the country
could begin to reap the benefits of the vast human capital
available in the Diaspora.

He this had become imperative against the backdrop of a
serious economic crisis facing the country coupled with the
stashing of the country looted funds abroad by greedy
politicians and the urgent need to diversity Nigeria’s economy
from its over dependence on oil.
