Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Ali Ndume, the Chief Whip of the Senate, has said that he would not support death penalties for corrupt politicians who steal in millions or billions but for those who steal in trillions.<\/p>\n

Ndume pointed out that corruption within Nigerian politics was primarily influenced by individuals.<\/p>\n

He suggested that it may not necessitate severe consequences.<\/p>\n

The senator acknowledged that politicians engaged in corruption but also distributed resources to the public.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIf you compare us, politicians, to all the corruption, it is very small. Our corruption is people-driven,\u201d he told Channels Television.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you steal it, you will go and share it with the people. If you don\u2019t, you are not coming back for four years. There is no reason for stealing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been to the National Assembly, I can\u2019t say because we are on TV now and not telling the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the death penalty is supposed to be included in corruption, I will support it but you don\u2019t go and kill someone that stole one million or one billion, no. But someone who steals one trillion of government money should be killed.\u201d<\/p>\n
