The PMB administration came into power in 2015 with the grand plan to fight corruption to a standstill and in 2019, the primary goal was to empower and take out of poverty, millions of Nigerians. And as we all know, that to fight these hydra headed problems of corruption and poverty in Nigeria, all hands must be on deck and these issues attacked from every and all angles. While the administration has ever so often brought a "hoe to slaughter a cow" and a "laga laga to slice onions" in both policy approaches and choices of personnel, I am of the opinion that for a house to stand the test of time, the foundation must be well laid, and nobody sees the beauty of a house from afar when the foundation work is being done.

That said, when you get to a mango tree with ripe fruits that are within reach, you start harvesting from there. the lowest hanging fruits of corruption in practice are still with us. While this administration are shouting up and down about fighting corruption, there are still police "checkpoints", police are still collecting "bail money" and bribes! we have shuffled through 2-3 IGPs and yet, this lowest hanging corruption practice continues to flourish. If in over 4 years, an administration that vowed to fight corruption to a stand still, can't stop corrupt practices among officers of the NPF (a law enforcement agency of the government), then they have failed in that fight.

Likewise, one can say to some extent, the inability of this administration, as well as past administration to fight corruption within the NPF is their inability to fight poverty within the NPF and society at large. If you can't pay them a living wage, then they have to make a living the only way they have--bail money! You want to build housing units for the people? Why not start with the police barracks! healthcare facilities for the masses? How about you start it from the police and army barrack! You want to re-orientate Nigerians? How about starting with the law enforcement community!

My point is if you can't solve a problem in a microcosm of society, then like every administration before this, they have failed and would fail still at every attempt to solve the problem in the larger society.
