Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that some current government officials should be in prison for past misdemeanors and criminal misconduct.
He made this statement on Thursday while delivering a virtual speech at the memorial lecture of Denis Joseph Slattery in Lagos.
During his address, titled “The Imperative for Moral Rectitude in Governance,” Obasanjo emphasized that accountability is the most critical requirement for anyone in governance.
He expressed concern that officials with “questionable” integrity are unable to make decisions that serve the best interests of Nigerians.
“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,” Obasanjo stated.
