A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olabode George, has decried the “corruption and nepotism that have bedevilled the country.”
He also kicked against what he called the Lagos State’s “attempts to shield looters” from prosecution. In a statement on Monday, George, while calling on Nigerians to chart a new way forward, attacked the law, ‘Lagos State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission Law,’ which was signed in April by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
By the law, anti-corruption commission is mandated to take over the investigation of all anti-corruption and financial crime cases involving the finances and assets of Lagos State Government being investigated by any other agency. George described the law as a self-serving, dubious and incongruous law that seeks to shield the looters of Lagos State treasury from the prosecutorial mandate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
This expired, bitter and frustrated politician is always seeking attention with statements unbecoming of his age, is it that this old man has no advisers to counsel him to stop being a nuisance? BG, stop ridiculing yourself
All OfficialAPCNg are making anti-graft laws when they steal more than Robin Hood. Imagine the house headed by a speaker with sticky fingers and illegalities passing an anti-graft law. It is just self-serving and fighting the opposition.
Is there any structure that's not self serving in Nigeria?
