Nigerians celebrate those who steal public funds – Sen Ali Ndume

Ali Ndume, the lawmaker representing Borno South in the National Assembly has voiced concern about the rampant corruption in Nigeria.

Speaking during an interactive session with journalists in Kano on Sunday, Ndume said: “Our major challenge in this country is corruption.

Up till now, we have no law that can proactively or even reactively address the issue of corruption in the country. In developed nations, people question the source of one’s wealth but in Nigeria, you are venerated for flaunting ill-gotten wealth.

If you see somebody in our system, especially in politics or government & he is not corrupt, then he is lucky that he is God-fearing. Otherwise, it is only in Nigeria that you st£al money & you walk freely, & then you are celebrated

It is only in this country that somebody had no money yesterday or last week but the following week he buys 10 cars, buys jets & his brothers would fly with him, his mother would fly with him, his uncle would fly with him & they would say Allah has blessed our son.”
