Politically-exposed Persons Yet To Be Prosecuted For Corruption - Obasanjo by slivertongue: 6:05am On May 03, 2017 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has picked
holes in the anti-corruption drive of the federal
government.
Obasanjo decried that fact that the government is
yet to successfully prosecute politically-exposed
persons.
He however noted that the trend has been a major
challenge with the anti-corruption drive of
successive governments in Nigeria.
Obasanjo added that despite the efforts of
successive governments, corruption still posed a
challenge to the progress and development of
Nigeria.
He made the comments while delivering an
inaugural lecture organised by the National Open
University of Nigeria, in Abuja, on Tuesday, May 2.
The lecture was titled: “Leadership, Governance,
and the Challenges of Development in Nigeria: The
Way forward.”
His words: “Nigeria’s poverty, insecurity, lack of
unity and cohesion, youth restiveness and seeming
directionless are conscious and unconscious
choices made by Nigerian leaders.
“The impact of corruption on the Nigerian society
and economy has been devastating. It continues to
affect the government’s ability to provide basic
services and has negatively impacted on the
wellbeing of the population.
“The lack of successful prosecution of high-profile
corruption cases involving some politically-
exposed persons is giving a serious cause for
concern both for Nigerians and the international
community. We must take away the proceeds of
illicit enrichment and remove negative role models
in our society.”
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com gathered that Obasanjo flew
to Minna, Niger state after the lecture to meet with
former military heads of states, General Ibrahim
Babangida (rtd) and General Abdulsalami Abubakar
(rtd).
On arrival, Niger state governor, Abubakar Sani
Bello, received Obasanjo at Minna airport and took
him to Babangida's hilltop mansion without any
official retinue.
It is not yet clear what the three former Nigerian
leaders discussed at the meeting as it was held
behind closed doors. NAIJ.com |
