Buhari's Blind Eye Over Corruption Among His Cabinet Members, Fuels Call For Corruption To Be Legalized In Nigeria!

Following President Muhammadu Buhari nonchalant attitude towards combating corruption within his own executive cabinet, a member of the Nigerian senate is calling for corruption to be legalized in Nigeria.  According to the reports, Senator Omoyele Omogunwa from Ondo State has urged the Senate to legalise corruption in the country.

The Senator who made the call on Wednesday while speaking on the floor of the red chamber lamented that corruption was pervasive in the country. He argued that it should be “legalised”.

He said there was corruption in the judiciary, and even within the anti-corruption ‎agencies. The lawmaker who spoke at the upper chamber, lamented that corruption was pervasive in the country, argued that it should be “legalised”.

The senator said there was corruption in the judiciary, and even within the anti-corruption ‎agencies, adding that if corruption was legalised, Nigerians who stole public funds would use them in building factories and industries in the country, instead of having them stashed away abroad.

He added that the performance of the 2016 budget should be examined first before that of 2017 is determined.
