Thieves cannot deliver justice, Obasanjo advocates imprisonment for corrupt leaders. Tamarauemi Ebimini Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Thursday, lamented the high level of corruption among Nigerian politicians, advocating that such individuals should be imprisoned. Obasanjo, Nigeria’s first democratically elected Head of State, who served for eight years from 1999 to 2007, decried the criminal behaviour among certain political officeholders. “If you examine the people in government today at both executive and legislative levels, some of them should be permanently behind bars for their past misdemeanours and criminal misconduct. “You cannot expect thieves to deliver fair judgement in favour of the rightful owner of the property,” the ex-military leader said virtually during the memorial lecture of the late cleric Denis Slattery, held in Lagos State, titled, ‘The Imperative for Moral Rectitude in Governance.’ The Abeokuta-born elder statesman recalled an instance where he challenged a politician (name undisclosed) who had made a false statement, but instead of correcting it, the politician simply attributed his statement to the nature of “politics.” He said, “The first thing that shocked me when I entered politics was the level of corruption among election officials, which was considered normal. “The second was the extent of general and criminal misbehaviour, which was treated with levity and impunity. We were in a meeting where a man lied, and I confronted him. The next thing he said was, ‘It’s all politics, Sir.’ “Every wrongdoing is excused as politics, which suggests that politics has no room for morality, principles, rectitude, ethics, good character, or positive attributes.” He stressed that the oil-rich nation needs “transformational leaders rather than transactional leaders, truth instead of lies, honesty instead of dishonesty, integrity instead of disintegration, hope instead of despair, production instead of deduction, inclusion instead of exclusion and marginalisation.” The Slattery Memorial lecture was organised by the Old Boys’ Association of St. Finbarr’s College at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Edo 2024: State government worries over suspected thugs activities at INEC offices Tamarauemi Ebimini The Edo State government on Friday expressed concerns over the activities of suspected political thugs alleged to be moving to overrun the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in some Local Government Areas in the State. The government also commended the military who it said stopped the suspected political thugs who were said to have tried to overrun the INEC office in Oredo Local Government Council in the state capital. Addressing newsmen in Benin, Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare drew the attention of Nigerians and the international community to the move by political thugs to seize control of INEC Local Government Council offices across the state. He alleged that the suspected political thugs have taken over INEC offices in Oredo, Estako West, and Esan West Local Government Councils in a bid to hijack the process. According to him, “the soldiers repelled the thugs and the thugs have since moved across the road from the INEC facility” as he hailed the military for showing “character and discipline” said the soldiers successfully stopped the thugs from invading the INEC facility and urged the military to carry out similar actions across the other 17 LGAs. Nehikhare urged the people of Edo State to come out on Saturday and perform their duties as voters saying that “soldiers have recovered Oredo INEC Secretariat and the military is on top of their game protecting the people and INEC facility. “
