Obasanjo rubbishes National Assembly, says it’s an assembly of thieves, looters

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, today Nov. 26th
rubbished the National Assembly, saying it is an Assembly of
looters and thieves. He said this while speaking at the public
presentation of the autobiography of Justice Mustapha
Akanbi, in Abuja. Some of what he said below...
"Apart from shrouding the remunerations of the National
Assembly in opaqueness and without transparency, they
indulge in extorting money from departments,
contractors and ministries in two ways"
"They do so during visits to their projects and
programmes and in the process of budget approval
when they build up budgets for ministries and
departments, who agree to give it back to them in
contracts that they do not execute. They do similar
things during their inquiries.”
"Corruption in the National Assembly also includes what
they call constituency projects which they give to their
agents to execute but invariably, full payment is made
with little or no job done. In all this, if the executive is
not absolutely above board, the offending members of
the National Assembly resort to subtle or open threat,
intimidation and blackmail. When the executive pay the
huge money, normally in millions of dollars, all is quiet
in form of whitewashed reports that fail to deal
effectively with the issues investigated.”
"When the guard is the thief, only God can keep the
house safe and secure. But I am optimistic that sooner
than later, we will overcome. God will give us guards of
integrity and honesty with the fear of God and genuine
love of their people and their country.
“Today, there is no institution of government that is not
riddled with corruption, not even the military. As the
people cry out, where then is the salvation.” Obasanjo
said

Mother of 5 sold for N5m to ritualist slumps, dies

It was double tragedy in a Warri community in Delta
State as the mother of five school children who were
allegedly sold to a suspected ritualist, slumped and
died.
It was gathered that the pupils whose ages range
between two and eight were sold for N5 million by a
tricycle operator, who conveyed them to school.
Investigation revealed that the tricyclist allegedly sold
the children for N1million each to a ritualist.
The inhabitants of the sleepy town of Otokutu, where
the incident occurred were said to have been shocked
when the sad news spread across the community.
Sources told Daily Sun that the deal was blown open
when a female friend to the mother of the children
called to tell her that her children were not in school.
Shocked by the news, the woman ran to the school but
did not see her children. She immediately rushed to the
residence of the tricycle operator, who the family had
trusted so much and met the man moving his
belongings apparently in a bid to escape.
The man was immediately arrested by youths of the
town, who subsequently handed him over to the police.
At the police station, the suspect allegedly admitted
abducting the five children and selling them to a
suspected ritualist from the northern part of the
country. Unfortunately, efforts to track down the buyer
failed as he was said to have escaped with the
children.
Overwhelmed by the pain of losing her children, the
woman was said to have slumped and died instantly.
Her husband was also said to have collapsed and has
been receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
Meanwhile, Warri and the neighbouring Effurun
community are again, under siege following daily cases
of armed robbery in the town.
