President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria has been ranked as the third most corrupt leader in the world, according to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
This ranking came after the OCCRP called for global nominations to highlight individuals advancing criminal activities and worsening poverty.
The OCCRP, which coordinates a network of investigative journalists and activists, revealed that Kenyan President, William Ruto, received the highest number of votes.
Tinubu was listed third, following former Indonesian president, Joko Widodo.
Despite the vote, the main “Person of the Year” title was awarded to Bashar al-Assad, the recently ousted Syrian leader who fled to Russia.
“The judges acknowledge the importance of public interest and outrage at corruption,” organisers at OCCRP stated.
