I think Africa in general don’t have that mentality

Resign
Admit failure by Government

That can never happen in Nigeria.
Nigeria Politicians even get A1 on how to defend failures, lies, cheat etc.

OGA LIE LIE as a case study

IBB resigned when the pressure was too much albeit using a strange term to describe his resignation.

Goodluck Jonathan on several occasions admitted some failures here and there but he was also quick to remind us he didn't create the problems but rather trying to solve them.

Forfeiting their salaries Are you kidding me? Apart from being a politician is there anyone that can do this easily? Although we've heard of state governors giving their salaries to the poor or orphanages but as an ordinary citizen there is no way to veriy if such news ended up to be true or just another publicity stunt

The question for the caption would have been, "When will Nigerian rogues in politician clothes ever say things like these!!". Nigeria does not have politicians but criminals.
