The corruption level in the country has been decried by Senator Ali Ndume, saying the trend is a major challenge facing the nation.
Ndume said this while having an interactive session with newsmen in Kano on Saturday.
“Our major challenge in this country is corruption.Uptill now, we have no law that can proactively or reactively address the issue of corruption in the country.
“If you see somebody in our system, especially in politics or government,and he is not corrupt,then he is lucky that he is God-fearing.
“Otherwise,it is only in Nigeria that you steal money and you walk freely and you are celebrated.
“If you come into an area like this, people would start lobbying you and prostrate before you even when they know that the money was stolen.
“It is only in this country that somebody had no money yesterday or last week,but the following week he buys 10 cars; buy jets and his family will celebrate with him,” he said.
Ndume said he had made several efforts to pass a law on unexplained wealth in Nigeria,but that such endeavours never saw the light of the day.
