The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Bauchi state, Alhaji Bashir Rimi-Zaya has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against sending those accused of looting the public treasury to jail, stressing that they should be allowed to continue living with the terrible shame they brought upon themselves.
Making this call on Saturday during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Bauchi, the state capital, he however requested that all public funds stolen by corrupt officials should be recovered from them.
Rimi-Zaya expressed support to the President on the fight against corruption and efforts at recovering stolen funds, saying “retrieve the loots from the looters but don’t prosecute or send them to jail.
“Anyone who has stolen public fund, even if it is me, should return the exact amount to the public treasury.
“But, I am begging Buhari to set the looters free and allow them to continue to live in terrible shame they have brought to themselves.”
The PDP chieftain further expressed satisfaction with the judiciary in the handling of corruption cases but cautioned that the government should be discerning in some of the matters.
“We all know that there are good judges and good lawyers, and there are bad judges and lawyers, therefore, Buhari should ensure that corrupt cases are sent to credible judges and lawyers,” he stated.

What is this?they shd be sentenced to death by firing squad and also lose everything they stole with interest
ReplyDeleteI don't believe pdp said this!
DeleteIf I hear
The should actually be killed. All of them.
DeleteThe man who stole baby food shouldn't have been sent to jail then. They shoukd have just let him wallow in shame. Stupid people
DeleteAbi o.you will see someone going to jail for 20 yes for stealing a governor's phone and another paying 750k bail after stealing billions of pensioner's funds.
DeleteThem don start their hidden agenda....why won't they go, bubu u must do why u promised, yeye promise and fail APC....stella u must enjoy me
ReplyDeleteWhat bunkum are you writing? Did they mention APC in all that write up?
DeleteLol
ReplyDeleteThey should return the money with interest sef. Cos imagine i steal 1bn, i invest it, then make 3bn from it in 4yrs, get arrested and asked to return the 1bn i stole, i would still have 3bn to enjoy.
They should confiscate all known assets even the ones owned b4 getting into office, that way even a billionaire will be scared cos he will have all he owns confiscated
True talk! And na only the one that they took pain to discover that they will pay back. What of the ones they have hidden? There is no shame o when you have stollen atleast 20billion. Na poverty shame dey catch.
DeleteSee them. Bunch of thieves. They should retain the money and spend the remaining of their wicked life behind bars....
ReplyDeleteI don't blame the shameless people .The onus lies on us that celebrate political thieves rather than shun them. Back in the day, God bless you if you went home from school with something that isn't yours. Now though, your parents will even encourage you. So who will chastise the other . We are a shameless community Stella and my heart bleeds. We stone a man who stole baby milk for his child but spread our wrappers for politicians who stole our collective wealth.kai I'm sad! We then go on and on to say its a witch hunt when evidences are right in front of us. We open our stupid mouths to say sebi they aren't the first to steal so they should be freed. Who's suffering the rippling effects now? Kai I'm so sad Stella. My people are officially daft!
ReplyDeleteMay the good Lord continue to expand your territory for this comment. You took it right out of my heart and mouth...Lol. Nigerians are so daft it's painful to watch. We are just not it at all.
DeleteAnd how is that punishment???
ReplyDeleteTricky Politicians!
Then the same treatment should be applied to all Nigerians when the steal and not just politicians
ReplyDeleteThe man that made this comment must be high on cheap drug. If they ask what punishment should they give those corrupt politicians, I will choose death by hanging or life imprisonment with very hard labour.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of advice is that? In that case anyone who commits a crime (politician, military or citizen) should not be punished but allowed to wallow in shame. Yeye dey smell. Rabbish!! Looters and corrupt leaders should not be sent to jail... No that's too good for them, they should be killed!! Oh yes! The only way to make sure this rubbish corruption is brought to an end is instilling fear into these heartless politicians. Death penalty just like in China. Kill them trowey like ekpan fly. Stealing from your own country and making the masses suffer. Useless people
ReplyDeleteSeen.
ReplyDeleteShame? What shame?...lol
ReplyDeleteNonsense!!! A poor man that steal Maggie will be shown on Crime Fighters but the real thieves are granted anonymity. Kill them straight and they wouldn't not dare to steal N5.
ReplyDeleteImagine this diots trying to negotiate soft landing. So they're too good to go to prison for their crimes right?? Prison na for only poor man abi?
