Some prominent politicians across Nigerians could find themselves in trouble as Nigerian youths revealed their demands ahead of the nationwide protest to end bad governance in the country.
It could be recalled that the media headlines were dominated by the planned nationwide protest tagged #EndBadGovernance. While many Nigerians, particularly members of the ruling All Progress Congress, APC, urged the youths to suspend the protest and give President Bola Tinubu more time, it appears that the protest will hold regardless of their pleading.
According to the report, Omoyele Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow, revealed the demands of the youths which include an immediate probe of the former political office holders across the country.
The demand states that the former leaders must be investigated and made to answer for their corrupt practices. It added that President Tinubu needs to recover all the stolen funds belong to Nigerians from the last leaders.
Also, the youths demand the probing of the present politicians and deposit the money recovered from them in a special account to fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure in the country.
" Probe past and present Nigerian leaders who have looted the treasury, recover their loot, and deposit it in a special account to fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure, " one of the 14 demands by the youths stated.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that corruption has been described as one of the major problems in Nigeria' s political space. Both the past and present political leaders have been accused of stealing public funds on different occasions
