Summary

Chairman of Economic and Finance Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallaqm Nuhu Ribadu, urge the Nigeria voters not to cast their vote for any corrupt political aspirants. He further stated that corruption is one of the reasons why poverty is high in this country. The government has failed to yield good seed because they are corrupt.
He spoke at a one-day seminar organized by the Chief Imam of the Federal Capital Territory. Ribadu mentioned the name of a former governor who was removed from office for corruption and said such corrupt officers must not be allowed to win elections again.

View point
Positive point: Ribadu gave a very wise advice to the Nigerians who are intent to vote in the forthcoming April poll. It is time for us Nigeria to learn from our previous mistakes and grew up before this country is being captured by those self seeking politician. They have used us enough, thanks to the EFCC for revealing these corrupt politicians to us. This will present a way for us to know how and whom to vote for. In other words, there would not be any corrupt leader after May 29, 2007.

Negative point: EFCC has done a great job in the forthcoming election but there is still one step to overcome these corrupt politicians; INEC will be the major concern in the forthcoming election. Are they going to run it with honesty? Would they give a way for these corrupt aspirants to buy their way in? As I will always say, power is buyable in this country. The only advice I have fore individual is to be vigilant in the forthcoming election and let see what the INEC is going to do.

Resolution/conclusion: “Our common logic was that anyone who wants to run for public office automatically opens himself or herself up for public scrutiny. We decided therefore to use the instrumentality of the law to give effect to the provisions of the 1999 constitution.” These statements conclude the whole story. Politician who want to hold any public office will be examined first before running for the office.
