To hell goes development. Monies for the salaries will be given and the balance he will put in his pocket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what is happening in Nigeria, it\u2019s a terrible thing. You cannot say the person who is doing these was not educated, he was a qualified lawyer, he was experienced, yet he participated in this type of corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He attributed such behaviours to a lack of integrity adding that it adds to the pervasive corruption in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it\u2019s a matter of conscience, whichever level we find ourselves. As a leader, you sit here with all the sacrifices the country is making by putting you through institutions and getting you ready to lead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fundamental thing is personal integrity. May God help us.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari has accused state governors of stealing the allocations of LGAs in their states.
