Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has blamed the ineffectiveness of President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption on the inability of national institutions to act independently.
Governor Wike spoke during a courtesy visit by officials of Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs, UK, to Government House, Port Harcourt, yesterday.
Wike noted that “political influence has weakened the fight against corruption. It is difficult to fight corruption when the institutions are weak.

The group is also demanding the investigation of Justice Onnoghen for allegedly violating his oath of office.
