Speaking during a high-level meeting between the Chairmen of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), and Attorneys General of the South-South states, Dambo began on a cordial note:
“Abdulahi Usman Bello, Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, when I saw you…, I knew this collaboration had reached another level—so you are welcome.”
While admitting that he had not prepared a formal speech, Dambo chose to “be very practical,” highlighting the power of collaboration among chief law officers and federal anti-corruption agencies.
“As Attorneys General, we must ensure the rule of law is upheld. If we are not bold enough to advise our governors on the true position of the law, then we become prone to corruption ourselves,” he said.
