The corruptly acquired property confiscated and returned to treasury, having spent considerable term in jail and shown remorsel, it is not out of place if they are pardoned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;In case those condemning the state pardon by President Buhari have forgotten, the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Goodluck Jonathan also granted state pardon, so, why should there be controversy over this one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said accusing fingers should not be pointed to he federal government as aiding and abetting corruption with state pardon to those Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Accusing fingers should not be pointed to the government as aiding and abetting corruption because Nigerians have been clamouring for the decongestion of correctional centres across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Apart from decongestion of correctional centres, interventions such as NPower, Facilities to support Small and Medium enterprises in the country, Covid-19 palliative, post covid-19 loan facility and many others have been done by the government and\u00a0 are all targeted at the masses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Every good move by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari will always be condemned by detractors because they HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER see anything good in the government, even, when majority of Nigerians applauded the move&#8221;, Tobias said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A civil society organisation, Equity And Justice In Politics And Governance Movement (EJPGM) has said the state pardon granted to 159 Nigerians is not strange.
