Come And Confess, Anti-graft C’ttee Urges Looters.. by ChappyChase: 6:56am On Aug 13, 2015
LAGOS — CHAIRMAN of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption, Professor Itse Sagay, SAN, yesterday urged all those who know their hands are dirty to come forward and confess, assuring that certain lenient terms can be obtained by doing so.

Sagay, SAN
Speaking with Vanguard, yesterday, on the challenges before the committee, Sagay promised that the fight against corruption will not be selective even as he disclosed that the agenda for the anti-corruption committee was still being worked out by the Federal Government.
President Muhammadu Buhari recently appointed a Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption headed by Sagay.
The committee’s brief, according to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, is to advise the Federal Government on the prosecution of the war against corruption and the implementation of required reforms in Nigeria’s criminal justice system.
Sagay, who said the agenda of the committee was the prerogative of the Federal Government, explained that “the agenda is still being worked out, it is not my personal thing. In fact, the whole agenda belongs to the Federal Government.
“The committee is still meeting to work out the details of its operations and their priorities, that is when the issue of the agenda will arise. It is premature to talk about that now.”
There won’t be selective justice
Dismissing claims that the war against corruption was selective, he said “as for the question of selectivity, let me put it this way: any person, who has not been guilty of corruption, who has not looted the funds of Nigeria has no cause for alarm. So, all this escapist attitude of talking of selectivity and victimisation cannot arise, you cannot victimise an innocent man.
“And anyone who knows that his hands are dirty, should come out and confess. I am sure, certain lenient  terms can be obtained by him, but let them not hide under the cloak of selectivity ignoring that their hands are deep red with guilt.
“For me, there is no selectivity, it is plain and straight forward. Those who have looted the country’s funds are going to be requested to return them and in fact, prosecuted if necessary. It has nothing to do with selectivity.”
On his appointment and challenges, the professor of law said: “I see it as an honour because this (corruption) is a major problem for the country, if we are going to develop, if we are going to eliminate poverty, misery and joblessness. These ills we are facing arise out of depletion of our resources by very focused anti social elements, who have sucked us dry.
“If we resolve it (corruption), we have resolved a major problem holding this country back. It is an honour and all of us in the committee are glad to put hands together with this government to try and solve that problem for the liberty of Nigeria.”

Nice one Sagay. Aren't you going ahead of your shadow to make that call?

The government is yet to give you terms of reference.
Naija people,give them a little power and the next minute the wield beyond their limits.

This is like asking all wife beaters (battery) to come to Police and confess.

I am still waiting for all of you who cheated in one way or the other in the course of your studies to return the certificates that are not true reflection of your assessments.

Examination malpractice is one of the worst forms of corruption hence all culprits should as a matter of change march to ICPC and confess and submit themselves for prosecution after returning the certificates.

Nigeria is a moral bankrupt country, look inward and see the corruption in you. The change we preach should start with you.

Good way to start. Those forming sick in London should come back home, confess and return everything they've stolen. They will get a reduced jail term by not wasting governments precious time.

Some brainless people will allow partisan politics to prevent them from giving unconditional support to a fight against corruption which their children and grandchildren will benefit from. This behavior completely defies logic.

Many of such people should be stoned or summarily shot. embarassed

They will never come forward willingly. 95% of our politicians and public office holders are thieves. It's a pathological condition for them; they can't serve the public or initiate a project if there is no money to steal. Both APC & PDP are made of thieves.
I can bet with my iPhone 6 that nobody is going to prison.
Imagine the people that came to PMB last week in the name of peace committee, who among these people is clean of corruption? Abdusalam or Oritsejfor ?

Funny enough, GEJ have a meeting with Buhari, the media says he is looking for soft landing.

OBJ visits Buhari, the media says, he has asked Buhari to ensure GEJ goes to jail? Obasanjo isn't looking for a soft landing to Haliburton money laundering scandal Buhari was meant to investigate

Obasanjo returns 200 million dollars stolen funds, he claims he preserved it for Nigeria.

This country is funny

Are we loosing the anti-corruption war already?

This will fall short of people expectations. The best this committee will achieve is Igbinedon kind of retribution where you are accused of stealing Billions but allowed to pay back a few Million naira.

What is the role of this committee in the cases already before EFCC/ICPC/DSS/CCB/Police? They are called 'advisory' (to the Presidency) but they are already calling out offenders to come-and-confess...for soft-landing.

Why setting-up a body when you have not determined its scope of operations. We already have legally established bodies : EFCC/ICPC/DSS/CCB/Police handling many corruption cases and ready to receive more.

If the Presidency trust these Elderstatemen more why not give them the headship of the already established bodies.

In this country we have experienced substantial loots recovered legally with superb efficiency under Ribadu. Ribadu, under global bodies sponsorship, has since been to a good number of African countries training them how to build a corruption-free system.

The nation is currently experiencing economic decline - too many youth and children future are tied to this Government. Our economic mainstay Oil is continually loosing its value everyday. The US is not relenting in her effort to crash the oil prize, even, further and they already have the keys.

This opportunity to recover looted Trillions of dollars sitting idle should not be wasted on the alter of sentiments.

don't worry urself, sagay said, ur corrupt hero should not hide under selectivity and victimization, ask ur corrupt hero, a simple question - did he steal or did he not steal, forget about whether others stole or not, when d time reach to ask others d same question, they wil also answer for themselves.

The problem is not corruption, the root problem is the current economic structure. Nigeria needs resructuring.
Fighting corruption without tackling its root cause will be a waste of time.
