\u201cAs for probing the past government, let me tell you: you see me argue that you can\u2019t close your shop and be chasing thieves, those who only look at yesterday and today will miss tomorrow. God did not give us eyes at the back, mine is to look forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you come into the government today and decide to stop the leakage first, you will get more. I am not going to be part of any form of victimisation or witch-hunt, it won\u2019t happen. Nigerians must live within law and order.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I can tell you right away. If you, the principal person, the local government chairman, the governor or the President are not stealing, your family is not, and those around you are not, you will reduce it by 70 per cent,\u201d the former Anambra State governor added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
