Speaking on Friday during a tribute event for the late Justice Olayinka Ayoola, a former Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Obasanjo acknowledged that despite his efforts and the contributions of the ICPC, corruption undermined progress.

“Corruption is a great monster that continues to battle with us as a nation. It’s not that ICPC or Justice Ayoola didn’t do their job, or that I, who appointed him, didn’t do what I could have done. The pressure of this great cancer of corruption was overwhelming,” Obasanjo remarked during the ceremony at the Methodist Church Nigeria in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Obasanjo praised Justice Ayoola’s integrity, describing him as a “great man, great Nigerian, great African, and a man of the world,” while appreciating his contributions to Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts.

Justice Ayoola, who passed away on August 20, 2024, at the age of 90, was celebrated by dignitaries, including Chief Justice of Nigeria Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who called on attendees to reflect on the legacy they would leave behind.

Among those present were prominent judicial figures and members of the legal community, all paying homage to Ayoola’s significant contributions to Nigeria’s judiciary and governance.
