Nigerians abroad to expose corrupt Nigerian leaders with ill-gotten assets in foreign countries
CORRUPT Nigerian leaders may no longer have a hiding place, as Nigerians resident in the United States (US) are set to expose their assets and loots outside the shores of the country henceforth.
The plan is one of the key decisions of the Nigerians at the inauguration of the Nigerian Peoples’ Parliament in New York, on Saturday, attended by about 150 professionals.
Another major resolution was a call for the immediate confirmation of acting President Goodluck Jonathan as substantive president, since it had become apparent that President Umaru Yar’Adua was no longer fit to rule the country.
Noting that corruption had become endemic in Nigeria, they accused elected national, state and local government chief executives of gross abuse of security votes, promising to from now, monitor their life style both at home and when on foreign trips.
Consequently, they have agreed to set up an adhoc committee, which shall comprise representatives from a broad spectrum of the society to undertake the task.
“Aware that corruption in Nigeria has remained endemic, the Nigerian Peoples Parliament resolved that there must be close monitoring of Nigeria’s public and private institutions and officials worldwide, by exposing ill-gotten wealth and acquisition of assets in foreign countries; that the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill currently in the National Assembly should be passed immediately and enacted into law; and that other effective measures to check corruption must be instituted or, where they are already in existence, strengthened,” they stressed.
