National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said, yesterday, that some Nigerians looted money that could last for generations and charged the judiciary to ensure that such persons were prosecuted.
Oyegun’s charge came as a personal appeal to APC’s National Legal Adviser, Dr. Muiz Banire, who was recently conferred with the title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.
Speaking at a post-investiture reception for Banire, Oyegun said: “It is a real pleasure having you on the working committee of APC. It is a period of change and it is my hope that we will now get advice and proposals on how change would also permeates the judiciary.
“I have had cause to be in court once or twice and one of the greatest mysteries on earth is court processes. Before you know what is happening it is over and l did not think l was unintelligent, but I had to ask my lawyer what just happened.
“What is serious is that in a period like this, when we want to change society and change society quickly, it is important that it is in tandem with the judicial system.”
“The matter today is corruption and if we do not have ways that corruption cases can be treated or heard and disposed off quickly today, when we are not talking of a few millions of naira but trillions, these people can keep us in court all year long and for many years.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
