Badejo stated this while delivering the first inaugural lecture of Chrisland University, Abeokuta, Ogun State, titled: “Interests.” He submitted that Tinubu, judging from his actions in the last month, would do far more than Buhari in other areas, but not in the fight against corruption. “It is my view that former President Muhammadu Buhari failed woefully on the issue of anti-corruption.

He did start by wanting to implement the UN anti-corruption strategy and went further to appoint a committee and that committee did nothing till today.” “On President Tinubu, it is too early to give a conclusion, but I can say that from what he has done in one month, he will do far better than Buhari, but not on corruption.

“Only your friend knows your secrets

“So only he could reveal it

“And who the cap fits, let them wear it!
