A former Spokesman of the House of Representatives, Eseme Eyiboh, has urged Nigerians to be ready to make needed sacrifices, as the current government is making efforts to reposition the nation.

Giving his opinion on the current administration’s activities aimed at ensuring the rebirth of Nigeria, Mr Eyiboh said the fight against corruption was a deliberate attempt to jump-start a new thinking that would be able to galvanise Nigerians to take ownership.

“What is fuelling the agitation is the departure from the past to a new thinking.

“Corruption has been able to put Nigeria at a very terrible stage.

“The speed corruption is running in this country is unprecedented and we need speed breakers to be able to minimise this corruption to the barest minimum,” he said.

The former lawmaker also said that the government needed to introduce speed breakers to establish ethical integrity and national consciousness and also grow a thought process that would ignite collective responsibility in Nigerians.

“The speed breaker are needed to minimise corruption.

“In any democratic process there has to be the issue of the rule of law to the extent that every man is equal before the law.

“Corruption cannot go away anywhere in the human community, but the speed breakers will reduce it drastically,” the former spokesman for the House of Representatives stressed.
