Pope John Paul II not only visited Nigeria twice but stood by the country in its fight against dictatorship and injustice.

Even Jesus Christ cannot conduct a free and fair election in Nigeria.

There is no part of the world where corruption is absolutely eliminated.

We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.

The givers of most of the corruption in Africa are from outside Africa.

Let me make a solemn pledge before all of you, before the whole world and before God, that I will devote all my energy and all I possess in my power to serve the people of Nigeria and humanity.

Fighting corruption is not a one-night affair.
