“Section 15 (5) of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), as part of the political objectives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, enjoins Nigeria as a nation and invariably States within the Federal Republic of Nigeria to take necessary steps to abolish corrupt practices and abuse of power”

“The Governor also lamented the damage done to democracy and socio-economic well-being by corruption, abuse of office, and misuse of government properties cannot be over-emphasized."

“The Chairmen and members of the Tribunal were not inaugurated to witch-hunt anybody for political reasons but to concentrate on how to recover, if any, monies, and properties of the good people of Zamfara State that were allegedly diverted to individual pockets or ownership as the case may be.”
