The APC and LP have clashed over Nigeria’s ranking as the 36th most corrupt country in the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index released by Transparency International. The Labour Party criticizes the APC government for failing to address corruption effectively, while the APC cites reforms implemented under President Bola Tinubu. Transparency International’s findings suggest persistent global corruption challenges, with many countries, including Nigeria, needing significant improvements in governance.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP) are engaged in a heated dispute regarding Nigeria’s status as the 36th most corrupt nation globally, as indicated by the recent 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index from Transparency International. The index, released recently, assigns Nigeria a score of 26 points, tying it with countries like Uganda, Mexico, Madagascar, Iraq, and Cameroon. Denmark is noted as the least corrupt nation, scoring 90 points, with Finland and Singapore following close behind.
In summary, the political tug-of-war between the APC and LP reflects a broader discourse on corruption in Nigeria. While the Labour Party condemns the government for systemic corruption, the APC emphasizes its ongoing reforms aimed at tackling the issue. The ranking by Transparency International reveals lasting challenges in corruption perception across many countries, indicating a need for intensified anti-corruption measures.
