In his virtual address at the memorial lecture of Denis Joseph Slattery in Lagos on Thursday, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo asserted that certain individuals currently holding positions in government should be facing jail time for their previous wrongdoings and criminal behavior.
Obasanjo went on to explain that officials with a questionable track record cannot be trusted to make decisions that will truly benefit the people of Nigeria.
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 thieves to give good judgement in favour of the owner of the property.”
