Background of the Study
Bukola Saraki, who served as the President of the Nigerian Senate from 2015 to 2019, was an influential figure in Nigeria’s legislative process, particularly in the area of anti-corruption. Saraki played a key role in pushing for reforms aimed at enhancing the country’s anti-corruption framework, working in collaboration with both the executive and judiciary. He oversaw the passage of critical anti-graft legislation, such as the Whistleblower Protection Bill, the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, and the strengthening of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
As a politician from Kwara State, Saraki’s leadership in anti-corruption efforts had a significant impact on the state’s political and legal landscape. Kwara has long been grappling with issues of political patronage and corruption. Saraki’s tenure as Senate President allowed him to directly influence anti-graft legislation that aimed to curtail such practices in both the federal and state levels. This study will assess Saraki’s role in shaping anti-graft legislation, focusing on the impact of these reforms on Kwara State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the passage of several anti-corruption laws, the level of corruption in Nigeria remains high, and the effectiveness of these laws in curbing corruption at both the federal and state levels is often questioned. In Kwara, the challenge of political corruption persists, with allegations surrounding the misuse of public funds and resources. The impact of Saraki’s role in anti-graft legislation in both the national and state contexts needs thorough investigation to determine whether these laws were effective in reducing corruption and promoting transparency. This study seeks to examine Saraki’s leadership in anti-corruption reforms and the resulting impact on Kwara State’s political landscape.
