Why Any ‘Clean’ Person Won’t Succeed As President Of Nigeria - Gen. Ishola (Rtd) | Inside Sources

Published 2024-06-14
A retired military officer, General Ishola Williams, says the immunity clause in the 1999 Constitution encourages corrupt acts by politicians because the law shields them from arrest and prosecution for fraudulent offences whilst in office.

He was a guest on Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television on Friday.

The former Head of Transparency International in Nigeria said the 1999 Constitution is corruption-prone because it provides immunity for crooks once they assume elective offices and “immunity gives room for impunity”.

“That constitution is corruption-prone,” he said. “Why is it corruption-prone? Immunity is equivalent to impunity. So, any constitution that has immunity creates an institution for impunity because you bring a crook into government and say: ‘Oh, this crook because he has come into government, he is now a saint, so anything he does, leave him until he leaves’.

    A good role model General Ishola Williams. My father told me a story about this man while in service. He tagged him and General Nasco as two military men with no blemish. He stated that every position this man occupied in the army, everyone declined to work with him because he saved money for the Army and bring you to account if you dare engage in any corrupt services. I really respect him to be honest

    I live in Germany, this are the kind of elders I like to associate with when I go to Nigeria. Good up general.
  • @bolasalak7360
    Gen. Ishola Williams thank you for this educative lecture. This is one of the most thought provoking and functional discussions i have listened to about Nationhood in recent time. The General did not only identify the problems but proffer solutions in contrary to most analysts who only dwell in complaining and abusing non performing government. I think we still need this type of man as true adviser.

    Bigotry is what the politician use to dismantle the followers' responsibility and obligations. When people are divided with whatever means, they cannot fight for their right, and in most cases forget their responsibilities. Thank you, Gen. Ishola for this exposition! I hope our people would have a change of mind soon.

    Very Few Good Men In Nigeria… Listening to Gen. Ishola Williams made me weep 😭 for Nigeria and everyday Nigerians. “It’s impossible for a bad tree to produce good fruits” That’s a nutshell of today’s government/administration (June 2024).
