The project wants anti corruption footprints prioritized by politicians and political parties in their manifestoes to the electorate.Speaking in the same vein, the chairman of the occasion, Auwal Ibrahim Musa Rafsajani who is the Executive Director of (CISLAC), commended HURIDAC for the initiative which is meant to mainstream anti corruption footprints into public consciousness. He emphasized that with regards to public office and resources, that transparency and accountability should be the watchword at all times.

He admonished Lagosians to engage politicians and political parties on accountability, transparency and good governance which is germane to the sustenance of peace, law and order. Mr. Rafsajani identified lack of transparency and accountability as being responsible for the woes of the Nigeria state, warning that balkanization of Nigeria was not the solution to the problems of Nigeria but accountability, transparency and good governance, because without these parameters in place, even if Nigeria is balkanized into a million parts, the issue of misgovernance will still give birth to unrest and social disorder as we are presently witnessing.

Mr Rafsajani wants the project to be replicated in other states of the federation to serve as part of the panacea towards arresting the menace of vote buying during elections. He advocated for the project to work with the Lagos State government to mainstream accountability and transparency into governance. Mr. Auwal Ibrahim Musa Rafsajani stated that we must all be in a position to hold government accountable at all times which is what the advocacy guide is all about.

He emphasized that since coming into office, the Lagos State government under Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has operated an all inclusive government which is enthroned on the principles of transparency and accountability for the collective good.

Mr. Odewale stated that it is in line with the spirit of transparency and accountability that motivated the Lagos State government to enact the State anti corruption law to make the citizens good those saddled with management of public office and resources accountable to the people. He stated that government wants to make things better and so welcomes the involvement of everyone and groups like HURIDAC which is public interest oriented.
