This measure, Shettima suggested, is essential if the new administration&#8217;s anti-corruption drive is to be seen as credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shettima acknowledged the promising steps Tinubu has taken in his short tenure, contrasting this with perceived inefficiencies and widespread corruption during Buhari&#8217;s term. He called attention to the encouraging signals from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under Tinubu&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Shettima stressed that the administration should extend its scrutiny to former ministers and their families. This would ensure that no misconduct or illicit acquisition of wealth goes unnoticed or unpunished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AYCF president also discussed current national issues, the appointments in the Tinubu administration, and the allegations made by Asari Dokubo about oil theft. He welcomed Tinubu&#8217;s apparent inclination to include younger, digitally savvy individuals in key positions, suggesting that the country needs new perspectives and dynamism to move forward<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-494159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-696x870.jpg 696w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima-1068x1335.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/arewa.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/yerima.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, the National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), urged President Bola Tinubu to investigate past ministers and their families for potential corruption.
