Our dear president has a moral compass issue or is just ignorant about the Law and Constitution of Nigeria.
Some lawyers have cautioned President Goodluck Jonathan to stop differentiating between the acts of stealing and corruption.
The President had during the 8th
presidential media chat on Wednesday maintained that there was a
difference between the two acts. This came several months after he first
made a similar statement.
“If somebody is a thief, he is a thief.
We should not use the word ‘corruption’ to cover a case of stealing.
Thieves should be called thieves,” the President had said.
However, a lawyer and human rights activist, Prof. Itse Sagay, said in a telephone conversation with Saturday PUNCH
that there was no technical difference between the two acts and that
persons involved in either should be made to face the wrath of the law.
