440 Out Of 447 National Honour Awardees Should Be In Prison – Baba Galadima
The Chieftain of the New Nigerian People’s Party, Buba Galadima has said that some of those who received national honours from President Muhammadu Buhari have questionable characters and are underserved of the awards.
Appearing on Arise TV on Friday, October 14, Galadinma said 440 out of the 447 people awarded national honours should be in prison.
According to him, “When you say Buba Galadinma, did you use engineer, Alhaji or whatsoever? I have never taken a chieftaincy title and even the Galadima, if I have my way and if not that it is on my school certificates from primary to university level, I could have dropped the word Galadima because that is a traditional title and I don’t need it”.
“Let me tell you, of the 447 people that were given these national awards, I think 440 of them need to be in prisons rather than parading themselves as people who deserved an honour. Of what purpose is the honour? What is an honour for some of these people? It is a reward for the boys and you know General Muhammadu Buhari himself has severally accused Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, late president Musa Yar’Ádua and Goodluck Jonathan of giving awards, medals and national honours to people of doubtful character.
“Who is it among those that he gave these national honours to have impeccable characters? For me, these awards should be given to people who have retired with unblemished careers and have not been followed by either ICPC or EFCC.
“Better still; be given to those who died in national service. I would rather give it to a cook that knows how to cook better than give it to a recharge card seller turned trillionaire and that is my view.”
