Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says he will consider granting amnesty to corrupt persons willing to surrender their loot.
He said this when he featured on The Candidates, a live television programme on the 2019 elections.
Kadaria Ahmed, the anchor, had asked him: “Will you consider amnesty to people who have corruption cases and say bring some money and we will go on from there?”
Responding, he said, “Why not? It worked for Turkey . We can implement that and I have considered it.”
Atiku said the issue of corruption has been an impediment to the growth of the country, disclosing other means through which he intends to fight corruption.
Describing election rigging as a form of corruption that people do not pay attention to, he suggested that Election Fraud Commission be set up.
