Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, has said politicians should be sworn in using African
deities like Amadioha and Ogun.
Ibegbu said using African deities to swear in politicians
would prevent them from looting the government’s treasury while in office.
Chatting with Dailypost, the public affairs analyst urged
the National Assembly to enact laws that would permit politicians to be sworn
in using African deities.
According to Ibegbu: “I advocate that all political office
holders in Nigeria be sworn into office using Africa Oaths with our deities.
“Politicians are no longer afraid of the Bible and Koran and
should be sworn in with African deities to instil fear and honesty in them.
Unless this is done, our politicians will continue to loot us dry and mess up
our lives.
“Politicians should swear with Amadioha, Ogun, Chockonoze,
they will think twice before looting our patrimony. We, therefore, call on the
National Assembly to pass a law to that effect immediately.”
Ibegbu also called for the abolition of security votes,
adding that the “immunity clause and full-time national and state legislature,
at Nigeria’s cost is inhumane and outrageous.
“80 percent of our resources go into servicing
non-productive politicians and elites leaving the masses in agony”, he decried.
