Politics Dino Melaye Advises President Buhari to Grant Amnesty to Treasury Looters

[ProfRem]

Senator Dino Melaye has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to give presidential pardon and amnesty for treasury looters.

Melaye in statement on Sunday said “Though an unrepentant advocate for integrity and forthrightness especially from public office holders, I however sincerely want to recommend that Mr. President grant Presidential Amnesty/Pardon to all those who looted our treasury provided they return all proceeds of their loot to the government within six (6) months of the declaration of the Amnesty.



“This, I believe will encourage the voluntary return of the the looted funds, empower the government financially to immediately commence the implementation of projects and programmes that will stimulate the economy and raise the peoples’ standard of living, and save the judiciary and other law enforcement agencies the agony of fruitlessly pursuing the looters in and out of the courtrooms. In the long run, this would be a win-win situation for both the government and people of Nigeria,”he said.

“At the expiration of the six months’ ‘Moratorium’, all those who failed to comply would then be made to face the reality of aggressive and expeditious prosecution and eventual jail terms for convicts in accordance with the laws of the land”, he said.

You forgot to exclude the Whistle-blower, Jibrin. He claims to be an anti corruption crusader

We are all looters in our own sphere of influence. Look at the churches, private business etc. But they should not be pardoned. The only problem is most of them believe they can outlast any government - as they have always done.

Jibrin found the light, though the way he found it is questionable. No matter what, Nigerians should take his allegations seriously

According to APC gospel, once you found the light.....old things have passed away and you become NEW born in 'progressives'.
