According to the report from the Sun, Professor ABC Nwosu who served as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, criticized the arrogance and lack of accountability of public officials in Nigeria. He highlighted the scandal surrounding the purchase of SUVs by members of the National Assembly and compared it to a time when President Obasanjo questioned ministers for buying luxury cars. He suggested that public officials behave as if they are above the law and will never leave office, and warns that this attitude will only lead to further scandals and problems.
He said,
“We don’t need an amendment. They can wake up tomorrow and make a law that we need a new law.
I don’t have to call on them. The arrogance of public officers is annoying. See how our founding fathers are dying. In another 10 years, all the founding fathers will die. The young ones that will take over will die in their own exaggerated selves.
See the scandals for instance now in the National Assembly about the SUVs they’re buying. When ministers then brought Peugeot 607, they were queried by President Olusegun Obasanjo. They behave now as if they won’t leave office again.”
