Oshiomhole said:
“So,
I want to propose to the President of the NLC that you should advise
the members of the National Peace Committee to include justice, national
justice at the peace committee because peace is a product of justice.”

“So, for us to have
peace, there must be justice otherwise we are going to have the peace of
the graveyard and there can be no justice if one person can pocket
$6bn.”

“Last week, someone
told us and this was an official report that in one federal parastatal,
the NPA, they admitted to collecting N162bn in one year. They spent
N160bn out of that and remitted N2bn to the Federal Government. Is that
justice? Can someone plead in defence of this kind of abuse?”
Former President, Goodluck Jonathan
Oshiomhole earlier revealed that a minister under the Goodluck Jonathan administration embezzled $6 billion in national funds.
