The Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi has called on the federal government to prosecute those Nigerians linked with oil theft and financing terrorists.
In a post yesterday on his official Twitter account, Obi said he was disturbed by the news of some highly placed Nigerians behind oil theft and Boko Haram.
The presidential hopeful argued that in national interest, the Buhari administration should summon the political will to name and prosecute such Nigerians, adding that there should be no sacred cows.
Obi tweeted:’I am struck and intrigued by the news report linking “highly placed Nigerians” to oil theft. Same has been the case with financing insurgency and Boko Haram. When will FGN summon the political will to publicly name such persons. In the national interest, there should be no sacred cows.’
The Pond news understands that oil theft and terrorism are major evils affecting the progress and development of Nigeria.
