African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has identified the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, the Ministry of Finance and the Office of the Auditor General of the Federation as key institutions he believes fuel corruption in Nigeria.
Speaking during an interview with Lucky Udu, Sowore alleged that the three offices are “largely responsible for corruption” in the country.
The AAC candidate, who alleged double payment going on in some of the offices, vowed that if elected President in the next general election, his administration would deploy Artificial Intelligence, AI, to curb waste and tackle corruption across government institutions.
“If someone is trying to pay one contractor three times, the AI will detect it.
“At the end you would have eliminated the ministry of finance, the auditor general’s office and that of the accountant general because those are the three offices in Nigeria that are largely responsible for corruption.
“The presidency of Sowore is going to be about technology. It is going to be built on the forth industrial revolution which is a revolution that is around artificial intelligence, the power of computing, block chain technology and decentralized banking.
“What it means is that very soon, digital currency will flood the world and your central bank will become archaic,” he said.
