OCCRP Recognizes Tinubu as One of the World’s Most Corrupt Leaders in The World
The controversial recognition came after the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) invited citizens worldwide to nominate individuals whose actions significantly contributed to criminal enterprises and worsened poverty.
The OCCRP, a global network of investigative journalists and activists, revealed that Nigeria’s President Tinubu ranked third after a public vote.
Kenya’s President William Ruto emerged with the highest votes, securing the top position, while Tinubu followed former Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who placed second.
However, the main “Person of the Year” title was awarded to Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s former leader, who recently fled to Russia after years of ruling the country marked by corruption, war, and economic collapse.
Assad’s regime had long been accused of exploiting Syria’s resources.
OCCRP mentioned that the award was due to the public’s outrage at corruption and its devastating global impact.
According to the group, the goal is to shine a light on leaders and figures whose actions have not only enriched themselves but also contributed to systemic failures in governance and public welfare.
Former US President and first Black president, Barack Obama, speaks on leadership and gender. He spoke about how it would be nice for women to be in charge every now and then, as it would strike a balance and advance the government.
“Even when I was President, I sometimes fantasized about if you put women in charge of every government for like two years, and then just kind of saw, ‘All right, how are things going?’”
“I have a strong belief that things wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better. I’m confident about that. I really do,” he added.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, speaks on the state of the country and President Tinubu’s reign.
He analyses it and shares how Tinubu has made tough decisions. “About three years ago, President Bola Tinubu assumed office amid some very significant and structural challenges, and physical challenges.”
“His administration chose to confront the long-standing distortions rather than postpone them, and those decisions were indeed very difficult and were not politically convenient. And because of those decisions, Nigerians have borne some real costs.”
“Today, however, Nigeria is moving from the difficult work of reforms and stabilisation towards a new phase of growth and shared prosperity.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, speaks on the road projects in Abuja and their completion. He shared that they will be completed and described them as Tinubu’s Christmas gift to citizens.
“We have promised the residents that this will be their Christmas gift by Mr President as part of their Christmas gift so that they’ll go back home and enjoy their Christmas celebration.
“You can imagine the happiness of those who stay here. You know that with these roads, the economy of the affected communities will change,” he said.
