Social Crusader, Chief Patrick Eholor has stated that it is imperative for Nigeria to fight corruption holistically to have a viable and prosperous economy amidst the second wave of recession under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Eholor, who is the Global President of One Love Foundation stated this in a text sent to THE WHISPERER. He suggested that strengthening of our institutions, trial and death execution or life imprisonment for defaulters, and recovery of stolen funds back into the economy.
He said, “It’s an unfortunate circumstance that Nigerians have found themselves. You deserve those who govern you, and unfortunately, we have never had the opportunity to choose who governs us. We’ve never had leadership in this country, just banditry and bandits who call themselves leaders instead of them referring to themselves as emperors.”
“The only way we can salvage this situation is to strengthen our institutions and if possible, to have a proactive law to try every corrupt civil servant and politician, service chiefs and others; to introduce death sentence or life imprisonment for those who have stolen our common patrimony and recover the moneies they have stolen and put that money into infrastructure, health sector, educational sector and other public interests, and reduce the number of churches and mosques we have in this country.”
“Unfortunately, most of them have become merchants of misery, and I therefore suggest we borrow a leaf from China and Rwanda.”
“If we follow suit, a better Nigeria is possible. Don’t forget the trademark of president Muhammadu Buhari that if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us”, he said.
