Please Don’t Send Looters to Jail – PDP Official Begs Buhari



The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Bauchi state, Alhaji Bashir Rimi-Zaya has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against sending those accused of looting the public treasury to jail, stressing that they should be allowed to continue living with the terrible shame they brought upon themselves.

Making this call on Saturday during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Bauchi, the state capital, he however requested that all public funds stolen by corrupt officials should be recovered from them.

Rimi-Zaya expressed support to the President on the fight against corruption and efforts at recovering stolen funds, saying “retrieve the loots from the looters but don’t prosecute or send them to jail.

“Anyone who has stolen public fund, even if it is me, should return the exact amount to the public treasury.

“But, I am begging Buhari to set the looters free and allow them to continue to live in terrible shame they have brought to themselves.”

The PDP chieftain further expressed satisfaction with the judiciary in the handling of corruption cases but cautioned that the government should be discerning in some of the matters.

The Publicity Secretary of Peoples’ Democratic Party, Bauchi state chapter, Alhaji Bashir Rimi-Zaya, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for measures taken to curb insurgency in the country.

Rimi-Zayam made the commendation on Saturday in Bauchi while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria.

He said that he was impressed with the measures taken by Buhari towards curbing terrorism in the North-East, and in combating other vices, including corruption, in the country.

He said that though it was too early to assess the achievements of the All Progressive Congress in its nine months in government, “one has to praise Buhari for his bold and giant strides”.

Expressing support to the president on the fight against corruption and efforts at recovering stolen funds, he said “retrieve the loots from the looters but don’t prosecute or send them to jail’’.

“Anyone who has stolen public fund, even if it is me, should return the exact amount to the public treasury.

“But, I am begging Buhari to set the looters free and allow them to continue to live in terrible shame they have brought to themselves,” he said.


The PDP chieftain expressed satisfaction with the judiciary in the handling of corruption cases but cautioned that the government should be discerning in some of the matters.

“We all know that there are good judges and good lawyers, and there are bad judges and lawyers, therefore, Buhari should ensure that corrupt cases are sent to credible judges and lawyers,” he said.

If anyone is guilty send them to jail regardless of party, but if the fight against corruption is one sided, where is the Justice in that.
