Governors promote insecurity to inflate Security Vote – Magu vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Magu who stated this while presenting a paper with the theme, “Imperative of Fighting Corruption/Terrorism Financing in Nigeria” at the induction of new and returning governors at the Old Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja, said he was not going into debate on the constitutionality of security vote.According to him “we have also seen evidence of theft of public resources by some state governors – cashing on the insecurity in their states.
He said that corruption can also not be divorced from the festering insurgency in the Northeast, adding, “Mass poverty in the region due in part to corruption by the ruling elite, is largely to blame for the ease with which the islamists are able to recruit fighters to sustain their aggression against the Nigerian state.”
He said, “As an investigator, I am shocked by the quantum of resources stolen from the Niger Delta Development Commission by those who run the intervention agency. It is so bad that even a mere personal assistant to a former Managinv Director was charged for stealing over N3 billion. ”He said , “whether we like it or not, corruption and terrorism have become the twin evils, undermining our collective efforts to make Nigeria a truly great country.
