I Deserve To Be In Prison For Cheating Nigeria – Former Minister

Ambassador Ibrahim Musa Kazaure, a Former Minister in the cabinet of Late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua admits that he deserves to be sent to jail for the way he “cheated Nigeria and her poor masses”.

Gatekeepers News reports that Kazure, who made the statement on a Radio France International programme, noted that all Nigerian politicians were the same and none have had the genuine interest of the masses. He opined that they all should be jailed for embezzling public funds.

The former Nigerian ambassador to Saudi Arabia further said, “Even me talking to you, what we did to Nigeria, we deserve to be jailed,” stressing that all politicians that have occupied public offices since 1999 have failed the country.

“I used to say, I, Ibrahim Musa Kazaure, we have cheated Nigeria and her poor masses.

“The truth is that 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 did not.

“It is only in Nigeria that the education system is still going on strike every time. Then when are we going to develop? I am not going to occupy any seat in Nigeria again, even if they will give me for free, I will not.

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