OKOOO.......''Those who carried out the criminal looting in this country must be held to account'' VP Yemi Osinbajo says
hehehe..............Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says those who stole from Nigeria while
they were in power must be made to account for their actions. The Vice
President made this remark when he spoke at the 10th Bola Tinubu
Colloquium held in Lagos yesterday March 29th.
“Let me say that when we began this journey in 2014, and when I say
‘this journey’ I refer to our government, our party, the APC, was
determined to change the dominant narrative about our country. We were
determined to ensure that the notion of a country rich in all natural
resources, but even richer in human capital, but being destroyed daily
by grand corruption, and the impunity in the looting of public
resources; we had to change that narrative.
“As for our fight against corruption, we realized, as Mr. President
said, that if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us.
Corruption is an existential problem for Nigeria. Let me pause here to
reiterate that from all I have seen in government in the past three
years, the corruption of the previous five years is what destroyed the
Nigerian economy.
“And the reason why we will talk about it is, first, we must let our
people know that we cannot afford to go this way again. And this is the
point we are making, that there is no country in the world, and we must
know this; there is no country in the world that would allow its
resources to be plundered in the way our own resources were plundered
and expect to be economically viable; it is not possible. Nigeria is
unlike any other country because of the level of corruption that was
perpetrated. We must stop that corruption and that is why we are so
committed.
“When you fight corruption the way we are fighting it, corruption is
going to fight back. But we are determined. When you listen to the
stories of these young people, when you listen to the stories of the
vulnerable, the disabled, and all of these people, these are the people
for whom we are responsible; these are the people who voted for us. We
must ensure that we defend their rights, it is in the defence of the
rights of these people that we will put everything out to make sure that
those who have been taking the resources of this country are made to
pay for it.” he said
