Mr. Michael Ekpo, the South Coordinator -sur de Nacat issued the opinion during a press conference to commemorate the great inauguration of the South Zonal Office -sur of the organization in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state on the weekend.
He said that the organization intends to monitor the spending of funds from the local government in the South-South region, with the approval of the LG autonomy bill and so many funds that go directly to the LGA.
Responding to generalized insinuations about the recent petition against Udom Emmanuel, EKPO said that Nacat's anti -corruption fight in the state of Akwa Ibom was not limited to the immediate immediate administration of UDOM Emmanuel, saying that he will investigate the past and present administrations in the state.

He said: “No, we are not sponsored. Nacat has been on the ground. Nacat has investigated Okowa in the state of Delta. The same way that Nacat wrote a petition against UDOM to EFCC is the same way he wrote against Okowa.
“I have heard insinuations and accusations that the president of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, is behind our request against former Udom-Gov. It is not true because Nacat will investigate the administrations present and passed in the State, including that of Akpabio.
“Nacat has achieved a lot over the years in its fight against corruption, but it is the request against Udom that has made the organization popular in the state of Akwa Ibom. There is a lot to do, that is why an office has been established in the state to supervise the Southsouth region.
“The federal government will pay money directly to local governments and can imagine what they will do with our money. The majority of the presidents of the local government will leave after four years and will have nothing to show for the billions that will be paid in their accounts.
“That is why we have to sit and strategies how we are going to be guard dogs. This is the right time for us to work for our people. Nacat is not sponsored by any politician. We are working for people. ”
According to him, the organization aims to promote transparency and responsibility between the government, corporate organizations and individuals through the defense of the media, field work and legal actions.
“The anti -corruption agency seeks to combat corruption, drug trafficking and people in Nigeria, Africa and global space.” Ekpo declared.
He explained that, as a non -governmental organization, the Nacat initiative undertakes to eradicate corruption, which he believes is the root cause of systems, unemployment and failed poverty of Nigeria.
“As Nigerians, we have a common enemy, corruption. It is the reason behind our failed educational and medical care systems, our unemployed young people and the vast disparity of wealth, ”he said.
EKPO urged the collaboration efforts of the media, other patriotic organizations and citizens to stop corruption and ensure that leaders are responsible and transparent in their representation, while ensuring association with the appropriate authorities, the actors of Human Rights and other interested parties to combat people traffic in the country in the country. .
He expressed optimism that the organization will bother corrupt leaders and make them work for the common good and a more prosperous and corruption -free Nigeria.
