Some government officials should be in prison — Obasanjo
Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has claimed that some of the people currently in government should be in jail for their past misdemeanours and criminal misconduct.
Obasanjo stated this on Thursday while speaking virtually at the memorial lecture of Denis Joseph Slattery in Lagos.
According to him, government officials with “questionable” integrity cannot make good decisions that will benefit Nigerians.
In his speech titled “The Imperative for Moral Rectitude in Governance,” Obasanjo pointed out that the most important demand of anybody involved in governance at any level is “accountability.”
He said: “If you look clinically at the people in government today at both executive and legislative levels, some of them should be permanently behind bars for their past misdemeanour and criminal misconduct. You cannot expect thieves to give good judgement in favour of the owner of the property.”
