Nigeria’s current leaders, unlike those of the past, are thieves who exploit every available opportunity to enrich themselves, former governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, said yesterday.
The elder statesman who spoke during a visit by civil rights groups on his 77th birthday also blamed the system that controls all aspects of development and the political leadership it produces which encourages prioritisation of self interest above public interest.
“The situation today is such that we have leaders who are really thieves and if you doubt it, let me remind you that anybody who is able to become a councillor in Nigeria or a member of a state House of Assembly or Senate, governor or president ends up serving himself to the extent that he becomes the richest in his constituency”.
“A councillor in most parts of Nigeria is the richest person in his ward. The president in Nigeria, whoever he is, will be the richest in the country by the time he leaves office even if he is the son of a grass cutter hunter. This means that truly the leaders in Nigeria are thieves,” he said.

In 2007, Goodluck Jonathan declared assets worth over #300 million. For a son of a creek fisherman who had no shoes as a child, to a civil servant in the Bayelsa Civil Service before he became deputy governor and later governor of his State, it is surprising that GEJ in a matter of 3 or 4 years, was able to amass #300 million.

Tell us something we don't already know.

Balarabe, tu quoque?

omenka: Tell us something we don't already know.

So you already knew? Yet you voted for the shoeless retard in 2011 while neglecting Buhari, a man who is known to have never stolen a single kobo in his life? You should be silent in shame
