The
Chairman, Senate Committee on Gas, Senator Bassey Akpan, on Monday advocated
special amnesty for owners of Nigeria’s stolen money, starched in the various
banks all over the World in order to generate enough forex to drive the
nation’s economy.
Akpan, who stated this in his
office while addressing journalists, explained that the country currently have
hundreds of billions of dollars starched in various banks abroad and the
countries where they were kept, are using them to drive their own economy while
Nigerians are suffering.
He
said, ��
Makes perfect sense.
Abacha looted and stashed
in foreign countries, but have all the money been recovered, and at what
cost? If the looter dies, then the money is lost to host countries
forever. It makes sense to make deal with the looter while he is alive to
move the cash back into Nigeria.
Another side of this issue
is education, a public awareness campaign to educate looters that they are
making other countries, at times racist, richer while impoverishing their
own people. Who told Nigerians that these beneficiary countries will
do anything to discourage looting in Nigeria and indeed Africa? Buhari is
running around shouting 'war on corruption,' what does the illiterate know? He
was fooled by David Cameron to believe that British government is interested in
seeing corruption free Nigeria. How stupid. Briton has large amount
of Nigerian oil money sitting in their banks and support British economy.
So what make Buhari think that Britain will rock the boat to shoot themselves
on foot?
This senator Akpan is part
of new age thinkers Nigerians should elect to lead, and not geriatric conman,
who have outlived their usefulness.
