Ask Atiku Abubakar — Official Citizen Engagement Platform

How will you deal with big corruption cases that drain public funds?

I will treat large-scale corruption, like major public fund diversion and contract fraud, as economic banditry, a serious threat to the nation on par with organized economic sabotage. These cases will be prosecuted in Special Courts for Terrorism and Economic Terrorism, so they move faster and reach decisive outcomes. I am determined to apply stricter penalties and stronger asset recovery measures against the individuals and networks behind this kind of systemic corruption.

2. Designate high-value systemic corruption as economic banditry. Large-scale corruption that undermines national development, public finance, and economic stability will be treated as a serious threat to the nation, equivalent in impact to other forms of organized economic sabotage. Examples: ● Classify major acts of public fund diversion, contract fraud, and large-scale financial misconduct as economic banditry under the law ● Ensure such cases are prosecuted in Special Courts for Terrorism and Economic Terrorism, enabling faster and more decisive outcomes ● Apply stricter penalties and asset recovery measures for individuals and networks involved in systemic corruption 45
