Kolawole (APC-Ajeromi-Ifelodun I) told the newsmen in Ikeja on Friday that as people were looking forward to the next administration, they should prepare for a collective fight against corruption.

“It is the leader that would show us the example and others would emulate him.
“If he is not corrupt, others would follow suit. If you have a president whose outfit is not worth more than N50,000 at a time, you would not see a minister that would wear an outfit of N1 million.

“He would cut his coat according to his size,” he said.
The lawmaker said that if the president was invited to a book launch and he donates N50,000 on behalf of himself and the government, no minister would donate N1 million.

The Deputy Speaker said that the President-elect, retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari was coming with a determination for change and urged everyone to support him to take Nigeria forward.
