NIGERIA 🇳🇬: Nigerian President AHMED BOLA TINUBU ranked third most corrupt leader in the world.

The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) ranked Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s President, as the 3rd most corrupt leader globally in 2024. At the top is Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, whose regime funded itself through billions earned from illegal drug production, human smuggling, and other crimes while committing widespread human rights abuses. Kenya’s President William Ruto is 2nd, accused of fueling economic instability, corruption, and violent crackdowns on protests. Tinubu’s ranking stems from allegations of drug trafficking, financial malpractice, and governance controversies, including protests against policies deemed harmful to citizens. OCCRP’s rankings spotlight significant global corruption.

OCCRP’s annual “Person of the Year” award aims to spotlight individuals who have significantly contributed to corruption and organized crime globally.
