Pardon Nigerian Looters – Orji Uzor Kalu Urges Tinubu by treesun(op): 3:06pm On Aug 08

Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to give former Nigerian leaders accused of looting public funds two years to return their loot in exchange for amnesty.

Kalu said such returned funds would help boost the Nigerian economy.

Featuring on News Central TV’s 60 Minutes With Mr Kay, the former Abia State governor said the government should create a window for individuals who allegedly stole public funds while in office to voluntarily return the money without facing prosecution.

Kalu said: “President Tinubu should give people pardon, because between the houses in Abuja, if you search all the houses, you might have over 50, 60 billion lying down there.

“People who keep money in their houses, and it’s not right; it’s not the right thing to do. It’s not in the banking system. It’s not in the banking system that could have helped this economy to grow.

“So I would like President Tinubu to give a window of two years and say, no matter from 1960, no matter where you keep the money, return it to Nigeria, nobody will touch you. You are pardoned.

“So let people repatriate this money and use it for the benefit of this economy.”

He argued that money allegedly kept by former public officials in private

Indeed a solution to corruption in Nigeria is for all corrupt to confess and surrender their loot and we all collectively have a focus to eschew corruption in our society while a general amnesty is granted and thereafter anyone caught stealing from Nigeriais thrown in jail for life with hard labour without option of parole or state pardon by the president or a governor of a state. However Sen. Kalu’s manner shows a lack of shame and contrition. They failed their generation, the baby boomers, the millennials and now the Gen Z who are asking them for answers. God will ask them for answers and unfortunately when they can no longer make amends. After they have surrendered ALL they looted and stole from the Nigerian Treasury and State they can seek a State Pardon and make their ways right with God. The alternative is eternal damnation and a ruination of their names on earth. For example, it makes no difference if a thousand Buhari shout themselves hoarse that Sanni Abacha was not a thief we all know who he was!

The best advice from a Nigerian politician to the government.

Ask the USA why they usually ask for a plea bargain. Bring back the money and get amnesty - Simple

But he was the best Governor in Nigeria in his first term hence both the presidency and Governors nicknamed him Action Governor. The quest for presidential power and Obasanjo's third-term agenda made him a target and the EFCC came after him.

And what will that encourage?

Anyone can loot as they want; maybe after they are caught, they will peacefully return the loot.

And everywhere will be good.

Instead of these people to think of a severe punishment for looters.

This is what they are thinking, so there will be more Yahaya Bello.

These politicians don't even know how lucky they are.
