President Muhammadu Buhari is under
pressure from Nigerians, who are itching to
know the names of the oil thieves.
Several Western countries comprising the
United Kingdom and France are also said to
have reached out to Buhari not to waste time
in bringing the suspects’ names to the public
knowledge.
It would be recalled that Nigerian leader,
addressing Nigerians during his recently
concluded trip to the USA, had announced
that Washington gave him the list of the
names.
Buhari said that some members of the ex-
president Goodluck Jonathan Federal
Executive Council stole as much as 250000
barrels of crude every day.
A group of prominent Nigerians say the
president should make the names public
immediately and defend against them.
Professor Itse Sagay , front line lawyer, told
journalists that he shocked by the magnitude
of the stealing.
He said: “ Before this fresh revelation, one was
very disturbed when Okonjo Iweala, raised the
alarm that about 400, 000 barrels were being
stolen every day. To hear that the quantity is as
much as one million barrel per day is
something else.
“It shows the country went into a total rot under
the last regime of President Goodluck
Jonathan. They would have looted the country
to bankruptcy within a year if they were not
removed from office. We should be grateful that
a disciplined and upright man has taken over to
clean the mess and save the country.
“The punishments are not farfetched. They are
already enshrined in our law books.
“We may ultimately have to resort to special
court with specific time frame to decide the
cases. The situation is very grave and we need
to deal with it in an exceptional way.”
Also shocked by the disclosure is Chief Ladi
Williams (SAN) who said: “ The President
should make public everything about it because
the oil they stole belongs to the good people of
Nigeria. The people have the right to know what
is happening.
“Some schools of thought have suggested that
the Chinese option should be applied in dealing
with the suspects. It is a common knowledge
that corrupt public officers in China always end
up being executed. But here in Nigeria, we have
the criminal and penal code. The suspects
should be tried.
“The National Assembly has the power to
establish a tribunal to try the suspects because
the courts have too many cases already. From
the tribunal, the next step should be Supreme
Court because many of us are not happy with
the way the Appeal Court has discharged itself.
The Supreme Court has discharged itself
creditably well.
“The suspects should be made to produce the
money they realised from the sales of the stolen
products. Any of them that parts with a
substantial part of the money should be
leniently dealt with.”
Tanko Yakassai, elder statesman, who was
also speaking on the development said: “The
president should not only tell us about the
crime, he should go a step further to list the
names of those involved in the criminal act and
the amount involved. He should get them
arrested and prosecuted. The truth is that these
atrocities didn’t start today. They started way
back when Obasanjo was the head of state.
“Key figures during that regime became instant
multi-millionaires. There is not going to be any
solution to the atrocities except the perpetrators
are brought to book. I want to appeal to
President Muhhamadu Buhari not to limit the
probe to the Jonathan administration. If he
really wants to get to the root of the problem,
he should go back to the days of Obasanjo as
military head of state.”
Enechi Onyia, Second Republic politician,
added that the suspects should be made to
face the anger of the law.
“The government should not stop at that. They
should also do everything possible to retrieve
the full value of the money that the country
ought to realize from the product from the
suspects. The government should not be
swayed by sentiments that people are likely to
express about its position or action plan
because in everything that happens in life,
people would always express sentiments,”
Onyia said.
Festus Keyamio, Lagos attorney, called for
prosecution of everyone found guilty in the
crime, saying: “ The effort of the President in
fighting corruption in the country is highly
commendable. This is what Nigerians looked
forward to when they voted for him and I am
glad that he is living up to his electioneering
promises. I want to do everything possible to
make sure that the perpetrators do not escape
justice.”
Abubakar Tsav , ex-commissioner of police in
Lagos state, was surprised by the disclosure.
He said: “ If the president’s statement is true,
then, it is a serious matter. How can one person
steal such quantity of crude oil? What are they
using the money for when many people are
hungry, homeless and sleeping under the
bridge?
“ The crime is capable of collapsing an
economy of a developing country. The
perpetrators don’t mean well for the country and
should be severely dealt with.
“I don’t support death penalty, but the offence is
worth it. I will suggest that they should be sent
to 25 years or life imprisonment. If the suspects
are not fished out and dealt with, there would
be a big challenge if Buhari is not re-elected
after four years. If Buhari is not elected and
another government that is worse than
Jonathan’s come tom power, the country would
be worse for it.
“If I were Jonathan, I would be ashamed of
myself and refrain from making any comment. I
think he should also be probed because it was
before his very eyes that all this rots was
taking place and he did nothing to stop it.”
Joe Igbokwe, the All Progressives Congress
(APC) spokesman in Lagos state, said more
sad insights of the activities of government
officials in the Jonathan’s government are
coming.
“What Nigerians are hearing and seeing now will
be a child’s play when the full story of how
Nigeria was pillaged and plundered under
Jonathan is told, ” he said.
“In the fullness of time Nigerians will get to find
out that former President Jonathan’s tenure was
a systematic regime of heists. I am believing
God that President Buhari will have the energy,
strength and power to go the whole hog in
repositioning Nigeria in the comity of civilized
nations. Nigeria is getting better and this, l
believe because a good man is in charge.”
