The Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim has
advocated public execution of corrupt politicians in Nigeria.
Ibrahim made the call while reacting to the public outcry
following President Bola Tinubu’s new loan request.
Recall that Tinubu had written to the National
Assembly on Tuesday, requesting approval for external borrowing of $2.2
billion.
However, speaking during an interview on Channels TV
Politics Today, the senator noted that public execution of corrupt officials is
the only way to end stealing in Nigeria.
When the Interviewer asked, “Borrowing in the past and why
Nigerians may be pessimistic is the trust deficit in those who are handling
those funds borrowed in this country that have landed in the pocket of
individuals enriching themselves and their family.
“How do you then think that Nigerians should wake up one
morning and then think that the nation should be impoverished the more when
some of this money goes to the pocket of individuals?”
Ibrahim responded, “let me help Nigerians in that regard
because of the future. I agree with you and I will come to that, but if you
list 50 items to which you want to borrow $100 billion, and you bring it to the
National Assembly we pass the law that anyone who spends outside the items
listed in this schedule shall face public execution. Then people will run away
from stealing.”
Loan request: Tinubu will not steal Nigeria’s money. I can sign for him. What is he going to steal Nigeria’s money for? He was comfortable before he came in, says Senator Jimoh Ibrahim.#CTVTweets#PoliticsToday pic.twitter.com/rt4Aa8c0iI
