May 29: All Nigerian Politicians Should Be Swears In With Ogun, Amadioha – Ohanaeze Chieftain

Chuks Ibegbu, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has proposed that all elective politicians should be sworn into power using African deities such as Amadioha and Ogun.

Ibegbu stated that using African deities would prevent the politicians from plundering funds from the government’s treasury while in office.

He also called on the National Assembly to enact laws that would permit politicians to be sworn in using African deities.

According to him, “I advocate that all political office holders in Nigeria be sworn into office using Africa Oaths with our deities.

“Politicians are no longer afraid of the Bible and Koran and should be sworn in with African deities to instill fear and honesty in them. Unless this is done, our politicians will continue to loot us dry and mess up our lives.

“Politicians should swear with Amadioha, Ogun, Chockonoze, they will think twice before looting our patrimony. We, therefore, call on the National Assembly to pass a law to that effect immediately.”

He further stated that the political analyst also called for the abolition of security votes, adding that the “immunity clause and full-time national and state legislature, at Nigeria’s cost is inhumane and outrageous.

“80 percent of our resources go into servicing non-productive politicians and elites leaving the masses in agony”, he added.
