GPMI urge FG to expose/prosecute perpetrators of P&ID scandal

…says Former EFCC boss Magu should be celebrated

Global Peace Movement International, UK has urged Nigerian federal government and UK government to ensure that they expose and prosecute all those involved in the grand corruption in the Process and Industrial Development Limited (P&ID) to serve as deterrent and also to end the culture of impunity in business transactions in Nigeria.

GPMI also said the other problem we have is the complicity of some of the anti-corruption agencies noting that is not just their fault, it is the lack of political will in the leadership because ultimately at the end of the day, the buck stops at president’s table. “If he wants to engage in anti-corruption war, then the anti-corruption agencies will be able to act”.

GPMI President General, Dr. Mike Uyi who stated this in London on Friday in a statement On the UK court ruling against P&ID scandal said the outcome of the case is a blessing for the poor Nigerians that are currently suffering from grand corruption carried out by some Nigerian elites and their foreign collaborators.

Uyi further said that if we don’t raise our voices, nothing will happen to the perpetrators of P&ID adding that this is not good, it sends a wrong signal, it encourages the culture of impunity and when people think that crime pays, everybody will be involved and that is why you see that young people of this country are going into yahoo because they feel that the government is not setting an agenda.

He also said while foreign countries like US, Switzerland UK, are using their court processes to bring corrupt companies to justice, rather than being brought to justice those involved in grand corruption continue to play political roles in Nigeria. Nothing has happened to them.

According to him “Glenco bribery case, one of those international companies involved in buying and selling Nigerian crude oil, in 2018, compromised some NNPC staff and not just in Nigeria alone, Cameroun, Equatorial Guinea and other countries, and Glenco was found guilty also in a UK court of distributing 23 million dollars across African continent. Staff in NNPC were involved in that deal, up to this point today, Nigerian government have not exposed those people.”

“We use this medium also to call on the federal government of Nigeria to also celebrate the former Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu for the role he played in exposing this scandal and also following it up till the time he left office. If not for his persistence, Nigeria will not have known about this scandal, it would have gone down like millions of such acts hidden from Nigerians”.
