I Deserve To Be In Jail – Former Minister Laments On How He Served Nigeria

A former Minister of Works, Ibrahim Musa Kazaure on Thursday noted that he is part of politicians in the country who ought be jailed over the manner in which they served the country.

Kazaure made this claim on a Radio France International programme.

The former minister who accused politicians who served since 1999 of failing the country said, “Even me talking to you, what we did to Nigeria, we deserve to be jailed.”

According to Kazaure, the level at which funds have been stolen in the country is on a high level and Nigerians suffer the cause.

Kazaure who was the former Nigerian ambassador to Saudi Arabia said no sector in the country is doing well despite the human and material resources in the country.

The former minister while speaking said, “I used to say, I, Ibrahim Musa Kazaure, we have cheated Nigeria and her poor masses. To tell you the truth, we are all the same. What we did during our time wasn’t what we should have done because some of us got the opportunity and some didn’t.”

“Not (just) this government, all of us have done nothing. If we have done something, Nigeria wouldn’t be the way it is today because we have the money and manpower but see what these small countries have turned to. They have become tourist sites to Nigerian. It’s shameful.

“It is in Nigeria that the education system is still going on strike. Then when are we going to develop? I am not going to occupy any seat in Nigeria even if they will give me for free. Whatever position one will offer.

“I challenge everyone in Nigeria, even the president, go and check. I have spoken the truth. Whoever stole Nigeria’s money should return it. I told Buhari that whoever stole should be arrested, including myself, we should return it if proven.”
