Nigeria’s President elect may likely grant amnesty to corrupt politicians but they will have to first return any stolen money in their possession. This was made known by former governor of Ekiti state and Head of Policy, Research & Strategy, Buhari Campaign, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
According to the ex-governor, Buhari’s promise to extend hands of friendship to everybody does not mean that he would not prosecute corrupt government officials who served in the President Goodluck Jonathan administration. Kayode was speaking during a programme on BBC titled, HardTalk were he said the APC government would use all means to ensure that justice and fairness were established.
“Corruption is not going to be dealt with by punishment alone. It is also going to be dealt with by incentives to those who are prepared to have a conversion. If you come voluntarily and say, look, I have stolen some money and I am prepared to return the money, Gen. Buhari would not say no to that.”
“Returning the funds is a form of justice to Nigeria because those funds will now be available for the teeming population. There would be a range of options for dealing with corruption but that does not mean that justice will not take its full course.
“Buhari said he would not interfere with the judicial process and that if anyone is found guilty of malfeasance or corruption then that the law would take its course. Buhari didn’t mention any individual but anyone who is found guilty or who behaved badly in terms of corruption would be brought to face the law.”

APC propaganda.
So he wants to bank on return of stolen cash to keep his promises to Nigerians?
Buhari must be kidding.

When is Fayemi returning his own loot? When is Tinubu returning his Mega loot.. I hope this return aint just about PDP thieves alone

“Returning the funds is a form of justice to Nigeria because those funds will now be available for the teeming population.

I do understand the overall thinking here, but I disagree with the above quote. There is absolutely no justice in this!

If a man breaks into your house and steals N100k, then he later comes forward (for fear of prosecution) to return N40k back voluntarily, is that justice? #JustAsking.

ok
