It is no longer a secret that some Nigerian public officials are spending the country’s hard-earned money in trillions, buying expensive personal homes abroad while the majority of Nigerians live in poverty.
For example, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory Minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike, allegedly spent millions of dollars to buy a home in the United States, reportedly using the names of his children and wife (a high court judge to conceal the deal). At the same time, this same minister is busy demolishing homes in Abuja, claiming residents lacked proper documents.
What these corrupt leaders often forget is that political power is temporary. One day, Nigerians will elect a leader with zero tolerance for corruption, and those who looted the treasury will be forced to explain the sources of their sudden wealth. If their explanations fail, they should face long jail terms.
The Viewers Corner News team is therefore calling on both past and present leaders with skeletons in their cupboards to stop looting the country’s resources and instead focus on improving the welfare of Nigerians. After all, this is why they were elected to give citizens a better standard of living, not to enrich themselves.
When leaders fail to remember this, history surely will.
