Group Reaffirms Fight Against Corruption, Insecurity

The Elites Society for Better Nigeria (ESBN) has reiterated its unwavering commitment to justice, anti-corruption, and national security, assuring Nigerians and the international community of its resolve to hold the powerful accountable.

Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, the ESBN President, Mr Sodiq Musa, declared that the organisation would not relent in pushing for transparency and accountability across public institutions.

He said that although Nigeria was not experiencing genocide, the nation was battling deep-seated corruption that continued to breed insecurity and political instability.

“We are putting in great efforts for the United States to help Nigeria recover over ₦200 trillion that is missing. We will tenaciously present the evidence in our possession to facilitate justice,” Musa stated.

He stressed that corruption and insecurity must be eradicated “without prejudice”, adding that ESBN remained dedicated to building a nation rooted in justice and good governance.

Musa also revealed that the organisation was collaborating with international watchdogs and governments to trace and recover stolen assets, particularly those linked to top officials of the immediate past administration.

On his part, ESBN Secretary, Mr Akpasi Akhiome, clarified that while there was no ongoing genocide in Nigeria, the country had suffered grave security challenges, with worshippers in churches and mosques targeted by gunmen.

“What we truly need now is for the United States and global partners to assist the Nigerian government in tackling corruption, which fuels insecurity. Once corruption is addressed, peace will return,” he said.

The group expressed appreciation to former U.S. President Donald Trump for his renewed support in the global campaign against corruption and terrorism in Nigeria.

Musa emphasised that ESBN’s crusade was not politically driven but a patriotic duty to restore integrity to Nigeria’s institutions.

“Together, we stand for a better Nigeria — justice, transparency, and progress,” he said.
