SENATOR SEEKS AMNESTY FOR LOOTERS

Senator
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.
