The founder of One Love sect, with headquarters in Ibadan, Oyo state, Satguru MaharajJi, has recommended the screening of ministerial nominees by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, (ICPC).
MaharajJi at a news conference on Saturday in Ibadan, said such screening by the anti-graft agencies would help to ascertain the integrity of the 43 nominees of President Muhammadu Buhari being screened by the Senate.
The news conference, is part of the activities to commemorate the 39th anniversary of MaharajJi’s claimed appearance in the world.
He called on the President to be more proactive in the recovery of the nation’s economy and its stolen wealth.
The spiritual leader enjoined the President to continue to identify looters of the nation’s treasury and ensure that the monies in their homes and elsewhere are recovered.
MaharajJi, who frowned at the ‘unconstitutional activities’ of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shiites, urged the President not to treat such with kid’s gloves.
“Nigeria is a country with constitutional laws restricting protests. How can a group of people block the passage way of the Chief of Army Staff?
“Such act is a coup against the nation and it is the reason for their arrest. You can’t do such in Europe, Germany or US.
“Why should they result to protests, killings and destroying people’s properties?
“I do not support violence of any kind. It is craziness for anyone or group to say they want to fight the government.
“The case is in court and they should allow the court determine it,’’ he said.
MaharajJi also called on the Yoruba race to rally round their monarchs including Alaafin of Oyo, Ooni of Ife, Olubadan of Ibadan, towards finding solution to the insecurity ravaging their region.
He also urged the Monarchs to empower the “Agbekoya’’ group and other socio-cultural groups in the region, to chase out criminal elements from the region.
MaharajJi stressed the need for the establishment of state police, adding that it will be a permanent solution to insecurity in the country.
