Publish Names of Treasury Looters, Says PFN

- Sylvester Idowu in Warri

The Vice President of Pentecosta­l Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), South-south, Bishop Simeon Okah has advised the Federal Government to publish the names of those who have looted Nigeria’s treasury.

Okah, at a press conference heralding Flock of Christ Mission’s 2017 world convention that will hold from today till March 19, said the anti-corruption fight of President Muhammadu Buhari would be meaningles­s if the names of the looters are not published.

He said the anti-graft war of President Buhari was not thorough as many individual­s who are in his cabinet and who are alleged to be corrupt were still walking the street as free men.

The Bishop of Flock of Christ Mission lamented that politician­s who have decamped to ruling APC from other parties are being giving protection by the APC, adding that this has made the anti-graft war of the APC selective.

He noted that corruption is killing the country and that if something drastic is not done, Nigerians will continue to wallow in abject poverty, adding that leaders in the country needed the fear of God and wisdom to govern Nigeria.

Appealing to Nigerians to pray for President Buhari’s health, Okah commended Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for holding forth for the President, adding that Osinbajo has done marvelousl­y well from the way he has handled the country in the past one month.

Okah also lamented that Nigeriansd­o notlearnfr­omhistory, noting that if care is not taken, the APC will do worse than the PDP judging from the way the party is handling the President’s health status.

“We Nigerians we do not believe in history. Some school of thought say, history repeats itself but history does not repeat itself in my own philosophy. If you refuse to learn from history then you will continue to make the same mistake again and again. The history of Yar’Adua should be fresh in our mind.”
