Ruth Kadiri, a Nollywood actress and film producer, says
voting should be abolished in Nigeria until laws sentencing politicians as well
as public servants to death for misusing public funds are implemented.
In a series of posts on her Instagram page on Thursday, the
movie star argued that Nigeria’s current state was largely caused by the dearth
of tough legislations against corrupt public office holders.
“We should abolish voting in Nigeria until death sentence
laws are given to politicians and public servants who misuse Nigeria’s funds. I
said what I said. Correct me if I’m wrong and tell me what your government has
done for you,” she wrote.
“Based on what I have seen in the
past, any incoming governor or president campaigning for your votes and
promising you a better Nigeria is a big liar. I repeat they are liars and do
not vote for them.”
Kadiri also charged Nigerians to
become more critical of political parties and their manifestoes before voting
for their preferred candidates during elections.
This, the actress said, will halt
the trend of the electorates being easily swayed by political parties, which
she described as “Nigeria’s number one problem”, during every election year.
“Any political party promising
you a better Nigeria is a liar. They have ruled yet nothing has changed. Be
wise. Please be wise,” she added.
“The number one problem of Nigeria is political parties. Best l we start voting for political parties so that when a party candidate fails in office, we know that we are done with that party, no stories.
