Satguru MaharajJi, the founder of
One Love Family, has posited that the nation’s GDP would grow astronomically if
President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war is supported by all stakeholders.
He spoke in Ibadan on Friday at a
news conference at his MaharajJi village to herald activities marking his 72nd
birthday and 40th spiritual birthday.
MaharajJi, the self-acclaimed
“living perfect master” and prince of the Akinbami ruling dynasty of the
Olubadan of Ibadanland, was born on Dec. 20, 1947.
“The Federal Government should
publish the names of those who confessed to stealing monies and those who have
begged for plea bargaining.
“The Federal Government should
fish out those who sold and shared the monies for Nigeria Airways, Ajaokuta
Steel, Delta Steel, NEPA to mention a few and prosecute them,” he also said.
Maharaj Ji, however, lamented the
hardship being faced by some workers after retirement, calling on the Federal
Government to investigate the Pension Commission and restore the old pension
system with the accompanying gratuity.
He also called on organised
labour to show maturity and avoid use of strike as a means of settling scores
over wages-related matters.
MaharajJi also bemoaned the
incidence of cultism in schools, saying this would stop if the nation’s
education curriculum was retooled to accommodate culture-orientation and
history.
“Mr President should enact an
executive order stipulating death sentence for those involved in cultism to
save our youths.
“Also, family heads whose
wards/children engage in cult activities in schools should be sentenced to 20
years imprisonment without option of fine,” he said.
He further called for the
establishment of a ministry of culture/tradition to facilitate cultural competitions
and black arts festivals.
MaharajJi also stressed the need
for government to establish an education bank where anyone could apply for
loans for academic pursuits.
He further called for the removal
of religion and tribe categories from all forms for employment, adding that sex
workers in the country should be drafted into national farms, police or army to
serve the nation.
MaharajJi stressed the need for
government to initiate steps for the creation of state and local government
police to be funded by 10 percent of the national budget.
He urged the police to discharge
their duties proactively and in accordance with the law, urging them to adhere
strictly to government’s zero tolerance for corruption and all kinds of
criminal activities.
“The Nigeria Police are the
friends of the public but sometimes allow tribal and religious sentiments to
out weigh their good intentions. How could anyone suspect MaharajJi village as
hideout for criminals?
“It is on record that our
internal security operatives have spearheaded the arrest of armed robbers who
happen to be landlords at Odo-Ona kekere opposite MaharajJi village.
“We have assisted motorists with
free spare parts and security cover when their vehicles break down in front of
MaharajJi village.The police and FRSC can testify to this.
“MaharajJi village is a training
ground for skills acquisition for our teeming youths to save them the trauma of
joblessness brought about by several years of misrule,” he said.
MaharajJi commended Buhari’s
magnanimity in releasing Mr Omoyele Sowore, urging the Sahara Reporter
publisher to always follow the rule of law whenever he was aggrieved on any
national issue.
He also called on Gov. Godwin
Obaseki of Edo and his predecessor, Adams Oshiomohle, to resolve their differences
in the interest of their state.
