As tongues continue to wag over the pardon granted former Bayelsa State Governor, Dieprieye Alamieyeseigha and others by President Goodluck Jonathan, the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, has described it as an “endorsement of corruption and corrupt practices in Nigeria.”
Chairman of the CNPP, Benue state chapter, Mr. Baba Agan on Tuesday in Makurdi, Benue State capital said, “the decision of the administration was a clear indication that we are in the most corrupt era of our national history and development.
“How can Nigerians trust this government anymore when it is glaringly supporting and encouraging individuals to loot the collective wealth of the people. What they have done is nothing but a rape of our collective interest as Nigerians because the world would continue to despise us as a people.
Speaking further, he said, “Nigeria has suddenly become a reference point when the issue of corruption is mentioned in any part of the world just because our leaders have suddenly taken our collective destiny to a gambling table for reasons best known to them”
Agan further flayed the federal government over its inability to tackle corruption in the country.
