A plus for anti-corruption

I've been hearing of corrupt leaders from external bodies, but the case of Abubakar Audu is one very familiar to me. Reliable sources confirm how backward his thinking was when he was ruling Kogi state in Nigeria before PDP took over his second term (thank God for that).
My colleagues told me that then in Lokoja, you needn't do any work at all. Just wake up in the morning and go visit the state governor in his quarters. You might have to wait for 3hrs before he attends to you but it's worth it. Once he comes out, people start singing his praise and counting the good things he's done. That's all that is needed for him to start 'blessing your life'.
They say he personally hands cash gifts to everyone that comes to 'visit' him and praise him (sometimes as much as N50,000 each) EVERYDAY!
I'm so glad to hear that EFCC has nabbed him. He was arrainged in court in his own state yesterday. This should teach his fellow gluttons some lesson.

People can be so stupid. What maniacs - imagine the fact that he loves people to sing praises to him was how he was nabbed. Im sure the locals thought christmas came early everyday. Im sure there were people who made praising the dude their profession. Na wa oo.
