Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has alleged that President Buhari is corrupt because he served under Abacha. Does that mean the late Group Captain Usman Jibrin was corrupt because he also served briefly at PTF? Does that mean Tai Solarin was corrupt because he served under Babangida? Is Bolaji Akinyemi corrupt because he served Babangida's government? Was Aminu Kano corrupt because he served under General Yakubu Gowon as Federal Commissioner of Health? Is Adamu Ciroma corrupt because he served a military government? It is wrong to assume that, because you can't keep your nose clean, everyone else is a crook.
If guilt by association makes one automatically corrupt, then does that mean the EFCC should arrest every member of the former Jonathan administration and drag them to court for corruption, regardless of who is innocent or guilty? So, Sule Lamido should be acquitted of the current corruption charges against him because everyone in Nigeria is a thief?
