The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore, has stated that if elected the president of Nigeria in 2023, he will probe past Nigerian leaders and recover every public fund stolen during their stay in the office.
The AAC candidate stated this on Saturday on his Twitter page noting that his government would also probe those who had murdered innocents Nigerians and deprived them of a bright future and make them to face the wrath of the law.
He argued that if the country could be retrieving money from the dead and long buried former Head of State, Sani Abacha, nothing would stop him from retrieving stolen funds from living legendary thieves.
He said, “As President of Nigeria, I will probe and retrieve every penny stolen by past Nigerian rulers, those who’ve murdered innocents and deprived them of a bright future.
“If we could be retrieving money from dead and buried Sani Abacha, we should retrieve from living legendary thieves.”
SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, said that he would not probe any Nigerian past leader if elected the president in 2023.
According to the former Governor of Anambra State, “You can’t close your shop and be chasing thieves” because “those who only look at yesterday and today will miss tomorrow.”
