Buhari must start his administration by jailing thieves – Kokori

Human rights activist, Chief Frank Kokori, says the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, should start his administration by prosecuting and jailing looters as soon as he's sworn in on May 29.

Kokori, who is a former General Secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, said this on Thursday.

The activist said by immediately prosecuting looters, Nigerians would have an idea of what the Buhari administration stands for and change would gradually set in. He said,
“You cannot change everything in four years but when Nigerians start seeing little changes in three to six months and then in one year and you see people being prosecuted and jailed for stealing public funds, and the government ensures that all the funds that were taken overseas are recovered, there is no way the needed change will not come.  
“Why should Nigeria have up to $250bn in stolen funds abroad and only $35bn in our foreign reserves? The international community is aware of this and the incoming government is not foolish. Anybody that thinks he has stolen and will go scot free must be deceiving himself because if any thief goes scot free, then the All Progressives Congress-led government is not serious. 
“So, the APC government must make sure that Nigerians that stole money are prosecuted and jailed while the money should be retrieved. Nobody should run a government by saying you will forget the past, no. The way Nigeria is today, people must be punished for the pains they have subjected Nigerians to".
Punch.

We don't have that luxury of time to be vengeful and thieves hunting. As it currently is, we are in ruins, so the mantra should be rebuilding hope and confidence.

You can collect the looted money back without jailing anybody, the best way forward is how to get those money that are stolen back not jailing.

In as much as some Nigerians are sharpening their axes for a pound of flesh from the outgoing administration. let us all remember that being vindictive will not give us stable electricity, affordable health care, good education and good governance generally. According to British prime minister's advice that the incoming administration should prioritize and not try to solve all the country's problems at once." Obama also added that we should strengthen our institutions rather than individuals.

He has no right to do that. Even if he has, he should start from his self,thiefnubu,lairmoharmmed ALL the association of present criminals (APC). Bush men.

buhari should first start with u criminal. also if he starts with arresting criminals, he wont focus on rebuilding the country. the infrastructures and co. so he should focus more on his promises and maybe before the end of his tenure we all can look back and say together, so nigeria can be like this. Engr Emy

Nicole said...

Lmfao! You have a point sir but you're forgetting the party is also filled with criminals who also looted whilst in office . Will Buhari arrest the likes of Tinubu and Co? Of course not!
In as much as I would love the likes of Deziani and Co to be probed, the fact still remains that justice won't be served to every single person guilty of the same act. We need to manage our expectations.
Personally, I can't wait to watch the drama that will ensue as soon as Buhari takes office . I think it'll be very interesting. Thank God may 29th is a few days away.

But it will bring money to run d country; dnt u think dts d most important? He doesn't want to be vindictive dts y he gave an option which is " return d loots nd v ur freedom" dnt expect him to leave them without sanction...

For what crime exactly? U need to get over ur hate Plz. As corrupt as we say obj is, he left $350bn in our federal account nd our debts for years were written off. Plz ask ur oga Jonathan wht he did with d money nd d billions of dollars he borrowed.

GEJ should concentrate on meeting d expectations of Nigerians mostly achieving d promises he made not going abt following advise lik dis dat wil amounts to nothing.

I wish GMB will go the way of Jerry Gana of Ghana: hull all the thieves whther you are in APC or not, into a hot flame call jail and leave them their for the next 4 years while he go for the looted funds and utilzing it. when the incoming set see what is happening, they won't hesitate to sit up and thread carefully. If you leave all these rougues outside; they will continue from where they stopped with GEJ.So annihiliating them from the system will work.

its better he start afresh.
