“Publish names of looters” | Ex-minister urges Buhari

A former minister has enjoined President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the names of treasury looters

Nduese Essien, a former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, says that publishing the names of the looters will make more impact in the fight against corruption.

He stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Eket, Akwa Ibom State.

“President Muhammadu Buhari should publish those names that have willingly returned stolen wealth or those who have been forced to return stolen wealth. Let the public know how much has been returned, where it is paid into and its ultilisation.

“We don’t want a situation where money is returned and we don’t know where the money has gone to.

“People are now afraid of indulging in corrupt activities for fear of being investigated after leaving office.

“Anti-corruption crusade is not supposed to hinge entirely on the past; it should also prevent those who are working with the president presently from getting involved in corrupt activities.”
