It is in obvious reference to Babchir Lawal, fingered in nearly N270m contract scam to clear grass n Yobe state.

“Corruption hasn’t gotten better, it has gotten worse,” said Odinkalu.

Odinkalu, an ambassador for ending violence against children and formerly on the board of the National Human Rights Commission, said government should be transparent in its dealings, among five demands the #IStandWithNigeria groups made at the Villa gate.

Among their demands:

Transparent govt

Security

Reduced cost of running the government

Improved power supply.

Among the protesters, Aisha Yesufu, insisted the most important office is the “office of the citizen”.

As such the office of the president is employed by the citizens, she said.
