Badejo gave his verdict at his residence in Lagos on Sunday as he celebrated the 10th anniversary of the foundation and his 72nd birthday.
“The words of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo that if you fail to give education yesterday it would unleash terror on the society tomorrow should inform the new PMB’s administration to invest meaningfully in the empowerment of youths via education.
“Apart from the annual award of scholarship to indigent students, there is the WBF Youth Vocational/Skill Acquisition and Empowerment Scheme which involves the realignment of youths, who have been displaced due to neglect and mismanagement of resources by successive administrations, back into the nation’s economic mainstream,” Badejo submitted.The Methodist Church Nigeria has urged the Federal Government to fight its war against corruption no matter who is affected.
He said, “We know and it is a common knowledge that people who migrate from one party to the other are the same people; but it beats our imagination that when you are the vilest offender in one party and cross over to a certain party, you become a saint overnight. “This is unacceptable and contrary to the norms of any civilised society. The world has become a global village and our country would be deceiving herself if she feels that she can be an island,” he said.
“However, I regret to note that within the general body of Christ, our church denominations have collectively failed in carrying out our primary assignment as a praying community due to the level of disunity and polarisation within us, whereby some churches claim to be more sanctimonious than the other.
I hope Badejo has never held any public office, if not trust EFCC to come after him to prove Buhari's efforts are significant.

Eighth Senate and the Anti-Corruption War - Vanguard NewsIn May 2017, there were strong indications that Nigeria’s suspension from the EGMONT Group — a united body of 159 Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) that “provides a platform for the secure exchange of expertise and financial intelligence to combat money laundering and terrorist financing” — might lead to an outright expulsion. This was following the refusal by certain institutions tasked with fighting corruption to allow the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) to become autonomous. That same month, the 8th Senate, under the leadership of Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, began to take steps to ensure that Nigeria was still a part of the EGMONT Group.
