Buba Galadima, a Chieftain of the New Nigerian People’s Party and former ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, has alleged that the majority of the people who were honored with national awards by the President are criminals who should be in prison
some of those who received national honors from the Nigerian leader have questionable characters.
Appearing on Arise TV on Friday , October 14, Galadinma said 440 out of the 447 people awarded national honors have questionable characters while some cases to answer with the EFCC and ICPC.
He said;
“Let me tell you, of the 447 people that were given these national awards, I think 440 of them need to be in prisons rather than parading themselves as people who deserved an honour. Of what purpose is the honour? What is an honour for some of these people? It is a reward for the boys and you know General Muhammadu Buhari himself has severally accused Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, late president Musa Yar’Ádua and Goodluck Jonathan of giving awards, medals, and national honours to people of doubtful characters.
“Who is it among those he gave these national honours with impeccable characters? for me, these awards should be given to people who have retired with unblemished careers and have not been followed by either ICPC or EFCC.
“Better still, be given to those who died in national service. I wwould rather give it to a cook that knows how to cook better than give it to a recharge card seller turned trillionaire, whichis my view.”
Wahala for everywhere for this country,one of the biggest problem of Nigeria is not bad leaders But Greed and corruption.
