Will Nigeria ever come to a point where past and present leaders who have abused their office are made to face trial and jailed? In other countries, leaders are made accountable for their stewardship while in office. For example, Ehud Olmert, a former Israeli president was jailed for corruption.
In Nigeria, many of our leaders who have been directly linked to corruption were never questioned. Will this ever happen? Should Jonathan and Iweala be questioned for abuse of office and if found guilty jailed? Should leaders like former president Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo not have been made to answer for their time in office? Let’s know what you think.
Both former president Goodluck Jonathan and Okonjo Iweala have been directly linked to the arms deal
Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Jonathan, and his former finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, are currently in the eye of the storm. In the last few weeks, allegations of massive corruption is said to have been perpetrated in his six-year reign as the president.

Nigerians are still bewildered how billions of dollars meant to procure arms in the fight against Boko Haram disappeared.
In August, an investigation into how money meant to buy arms for the Nigerian army uncovered billions of dollars stolen by the office of the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Dasuki himself has been at the center of investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He has been granted bail.
At the last count, the sum of $2.1 billion and $322 million Abacha loot has been re-looted under Jonathan. While the former president had said he did not approve any money, Nigerians have said he cannot continue to play the ostrich.
Reports have also hinted at the possibility of the former president being invited to explain what he knows about the stolen money.
If the EFCC decides to invite Jonathan, it will certainly raise as his supporters and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, will kick at any attempt to make come face to face with investigators.
Inviting Jonathan may be very unlikely. But can the EFCC take the bull by the horn? Inviting a president to answer questions about his or stewardship is nothing new.

In other climes this is done regularly but in Nigeria no president has ever been directly made to answer questions about their time in office.
From Ibrahim Babangida to Olusegun Obasanjo and other Nigerian leaders that have been alleged to have corruptly enriched themselves while in office.
When are we going to ever have a president who abuse privilege jailed in Nigeria?
