The presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said he would
consider giving amnesty to looters in other to recover the looted public
funds to revive and develop Nigeria’s economy.
The former vice president disclosed this
Wednesday on ‘The Candidates’, a programme organised for presidential
candidates in the forthcoming election, hosted by Kadaria Ahmed on the
Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).
Atiku recalled that the same initiative was introduced by Turkey and the country was turned around.
On his part, his running mate, Mr. Peter
Obi, said that amnesty for looters to develop critical sectors of the
economy was better than encouraging defection by corrupt politicians to
another party and making the new party a safe haven for looters.
