Pres. Obasanjo has said corrupt politicians cannot provide good governance.
Speaking virtually at a recent event in Victoria Island, Lagos, he said: “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 thi£ves to give good judgement in favour of the owner of the property. The first thing that shocked me when I went into politics was the level of corruption of election officials which was taken as normal.
The second was the level of general and criminal misbehaviour which was taken with levity and impunity. We were at a meeting and a man lied and I confronted him, and the next thing he said is ‘It is all politics, Sir’.
Every bad thing they do is passed on as politics which means politics has no room for morality, principles, rectitude, ethics, good character and attributes.
