NIGERIA (Delta) –A group in the Niger Delta has urged people in the country, especially those at the helm of affairs, to join hands with President Goodluck Jonathan in fighting corruption, rather than accusing him of aiding it.

The above statement was made by the National President of the Niger Delta for Peaceful, Credible and Visionary Leadership, King Prebor (Snr), during a media chat in Ughelli.

The royal father added that President Goodluck Jonathan is doing well in his crusade against corruption.

He said: “It is the duty of every Nigerian to wage war against corruption and corrupt practices. The President alone cannot fight corruption.

“I, therefore, urge all those in government to declare a state of emergency on corruption from the Presidency to the state down to the local government governments.”
