Why Any ‘Clean’ Person Won’t Succeed As President Of Nigeria - Gen. Ishola (Rtd) | Inside Sources

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- A retired military officer, General Ishola Williams, says the immunity clause in the 1999 Constitution encourages corrupt acts by politicians because the law shields them from arrest and prosecution for fraudulent offences whilst in office.
He was a guest on Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television on Friday.
The former Head of Transparency International in Nigeria said the 1999 Constitution is corruption-prone because it provides immunity for crooks once they assume elective offices and “immunity gives room for impunity”.
“That constitution is corruption-prone,” he said. “Why is it corruption-prone? Immunity is equivalent to impunity. So, any constitution that has immunity creates an institution for impunity because you bring a crook into government and say: ‘Oh, this crook because he has come into government, he is now a saint, so anything he does, leave him until he leaves’.

A good role model General Ishola Williams. My father told me a story about this man while in service. He tagged him and General Nasco as two military men with no blemish. He stated that every position this man occupied in the army, everyone declined to work with him because he saved money for the Army and bring you to account if you dare engage in any corrupt services. I really respect him to be honest
@@sundaychidi1979can you explain why you disagree sir
Son of biafra is talking, since no be igbo man @sundaychidi1979 can critize anyhow. Most igbo are problem
@@sundaychidi1979you have a personal score to settle with the man. Why call him wicked? Explain plz.
@@sundaychidi1979you wanted him to plan a coup?
Kudos to a forthright man, General Ishola I salute you.
One of the very few who still speak the truth. Unfortunately people like this are kept out of leadership of the country, while rascals and looters reign.
Gen Williams is a man of integrity. Stoic, humble and genuine. I will always respect you
It is obvious from hearing him speak.
God bless your truthfulness Sir
Almighty God will continue to bless and uphold sir. ❤
The Rtd General is packed with wisdom.
Brilliant analysis of Nigeria sir. Hope the powers that be can yield to your suggestions.
Baba, thank you so much. You are a truly military General. I humbly say let these your views be written down. God Bless You and family. People like you should be the president of Nigeria 🇳🇬
Gen. Ishola Williams thank you for this educative lecture. This is one of the most thought provoking and functional discussions i have listened to about Nationhood in recent time. The General did not only identify the problems but proffer solutions in contrary to most analysts who only dwell in complaining and abusing non performing government. I think we still need this type of man as true adviser.
This is a very brilliant general. He is very sound.
80, still active, mind still sharp. I am impressed.
General is an exceptional human being worthy of emulating. Sir, thank you.
I live in Germany, this are the kind of elders I like to associate with when I go to Nigeria. Good up general.
This is just too sound for me to comprehend. Ahhhhh General has touched everything from head to toe.
I love and respect this honest gentleman, more wisdom sir ❤️
Is this great man really 80years old, for me he's just 70. His articulation is marvelous, I you so much sir. But then, I shall remain OBIDIENT AND YESUFU FOR EVER
He’s intellectually alert. That’s why he won’t have dementia
Bigotry is what the politician use to dismantle the followers' responsibility and obligations. When people are divided with whatever means, they cannot fight for their right, and in most cases forget their responsibilities.
Thank you, Gen. Ishola for this exposition!
I hope our people would have a change of mind soon.
Kudos to General ishola Williams rtd, no nonsense man 👏 👍 more grace to your elbows sir ❤
Gen. Williams may God bless u. U speak my mind. This kind of man suppose to be in power
In Nigeria people with good minds never got to power
ummm🤔1966 coup..Thank you General Williams for your bluntness anytime anyday
.Respect🙇♂️Reason why a credible General like him with great fountain of knowledge is under utilized with so many issues he can add value in solving in Nigeria 🇳🇬
May God bless ds man with integrity 🙏 soon God will raise good leaders by his grace.
You don’t need to speak but to fight against tyranny and that is what they understand.
What a nice interview this are the kind of elder state man we're looking to help build
Great general man of wisdom God bless you
The General is a Great wise Father....May the Lord God Almighty grant him good health & happiness ❤
I love you sir you good
Leadership does not fall from heaven. But choosing by follower-ship.
Just as the younger generations have chosen Peter Obi as their leader and future president.
Laolu, you are doing great in analytic reporting. It’s great to see you regularly, my brother. Nigeria needs to see deeper into the ultimate motives behind our leaders’ decisions. Gen Ishola Williams is an accurate experiential and well grounded analyst man.
He said here, ‘we create agency in order to offer employment not to offer services. The constitution is left alone, by all military and the civilian leaders because of the greed and the selfish benefits it confers on them.’This is a very accurate picture of the Nigerian public service. He is a dogged defender of justice and the helpless. I let him in Disarmament and International Peace and security while at the UN 2007-2011.
God continue to keep safe. Sir
Truth well said
Thank you for your service sir, please what’s the name of his NGO? I will to volunteer and support anyway I can.
Waoo
This is wonderful
Nigeria 🇳🇬 has a great intelligent and honest people without opportunity to serve
This gentleman is just oneof them.
Unfortunately Criminals has hijacked the country without mercy,.so pathetic.
This guest says exactly what I've been having in my mind. Such views however aren't popular. Nigerians seem not ready for this discussion, this line of thought.
Person that know what he is talking. Thank you Sir.
God bless you daddy Willims.
Very Few Good Men In Nigeria…
Listening to Gen. Ishola Williams made me weep 😭 for Nigeria and everyday Nigerians.
“It’s impossible for a bad tree to produce good fruits”
That’s a nutshell of today’s government/administration (June 2024).
God bless you
❤ well spoken Gen
You are a gift from heaven sir
General l enjoy hearing you .and you are just saying the truth
“Rtd Gen” lshola WlLLIAMS is a clean man even when he was a serving military man as white as “snow” that caused him early retirement. Thanks
GOD Bless This General
Very intelligent retired military General. Difficult to hve this kind of man this days. People are just moving around with big big ranks on thier shoulders without knowledge. God bless you sir.
Immunity is the bedrock of impunity.
Absolutely!!!
Exactly 💯
You are indeed, the "People General".
Good lesson for the leaders and the lead. Let's save this workable document and act on same more positively
Very smart, brilliant military officer, Maj. Gen. Williams Ishola. He needs to write books and memoirs for posterity.
Laolu Akande,... you always say it the way it is. I will keep listening and watching your episodes. Baba Obasanjo indeed refuse to concede that his transition example has led to the present state the country is today. What a Shame!
Great interview!!
God bless Gen. Ishola and keep him around for many more years. The security people we have today need to go back to this man and learn the basics. They have been doing same thing for years and it's not working. It's time for strategic change.
Hi, is a great Nigeria
Always been a real, merited General not quota/tribal system Generals. Among the very, very few with integrity.
This General summarizes the Nigeria people and Nigeria in a nutshell.. Unfortunately this conundrum for Nigeria.😂😂😮
Chief what you said means that Nigeria is doomed because darkness cannot produce light.
You should write a book sir,if you‘ve not written one already. Bless you boss
A gentleman and an officer
Im from Ghana but i feel sorry for the Nigerian citizens😢😢
Bad leadership killing destinies in Nigeria 😢😢
Even the freedom to demonstration is been gradually been withdrawal from citizens already, because our leaders has turned themselves to be small god. Baba you are perfectly correct sir
Yes he's making sense,semi God you are right.
This man is right in everything but part of The problem with Nigeria is that the people who are meant to be leaders only speak on tv and social media instead of the house of assembly and senate…
We don't care about what's happening in Nigeria, BIAFRANS freedom is not negotiable, we must continue fighting until BIAFRA is restored no going back we are BIAFRANS not slaves to Nigeria ✊️
If i say I understand this mans point i dey lie. 😢
Dont blame yourself for lack of understanding. It is beyond you.
Welcome Houtdere, my name is la and you are hòn
Nice presentation laolu, and the general is a great example of what and how we should approach national issues , the general most definitely need support to keep his ngo running , we have continue to get aeeved diatraction and deviations by this goverment, the govt drifted away completely which in my opinion is a waste of time and resources , yet , with the unveiling of a new canvass of Pbat, it is clear that ,the president and the narional assembly are diaconnected from our reality as apeople and preaodency sorrounded by sychophants , right now , hu ger and famine is facing us and we still keep wasting money on uselss projects , who knows how much the canvass costs and as small as it could be , it is enough to pay medical bills of poor citizens with twrminal ailments, we are simply nit ready yet and the present crop of youth are even worse than our parents cos they had it even better during their time .
I have been following the General(an examplary leader) for a very long time and i undertstand perfectly what he's saying...the culture of impunity by those that have held Nigeria hostage,of which the general belonged,is what has led us to where we are.Awolowo was denied leadership and nothing happened.For a strategist,money politics was the only way to get power, as designed by the cartel that have captured Nigeria for years.I am now looking forward to what the present Govt does with power,that it has.Already,they are failing becuase i believe,if Awolowo was to be our leader,with this opportunity,he would do the best possible and not be mindful of playing politics to win second term.A mark on the sands of time would have been more of his legacy and even that,seen by the people,will most likely reward you with the 2nd term.Damning the consequences of satisfying all the various political and sundry interest group,would be the paramount thing to do.When you have power, you use it well.
Awo would have been a disaster due to tribalism. He saw Nigeria from a bigoted prism. Not only Awo but Zik. Ahmadu Bello and Sarduana were all not fit for purpose tribalists who brought to our present impasse
General your will live long
There is no sound on this program. What is the point?
🇳🇬🦅🇳🇬
Nigeria We Fail Thee
How can this aged man be this knowledgeable 😮
Yet some empty dumps that are younger can't be this logical 🤔 especially those in fed Houses both lower and upper house.
My Greatest pain now is how elections or political parties can be purified, sanctioned and corrected. Unfortunately, INEC is now the Jagaban.
Please tell TINUBU to listen to Gen. ISHOLA WILLIAMS. An educated man and a ROLE MODEL.
God bless and guide the president of Nigeria
Two military officers caused the civil war, one was smart ready to serve one wasn’t ready and dumb. Thank you Sir.
Keep fooling yourself
Please keep inviting people like these to educate us and stop handing mic to clowns. Gen Ishola.... Respect sir!
Thank you for lecturing the fail country, who refuses to learn.
Goodluck jonathan was a million times better than buhari he drlivered 7% annual growth and the Nigerian economywas much stronger.
Buhari's level of mismanagement of the Nigerian economy should be illegal. Tinubu is doing his best to be a worst leader than Buhari
Goodluck Jonathan did not "bequeath Nigeria" anything; he regrets his actions.
😊😊😊😊😊
He said no "clean" person can succeed as president of Nigeria. So Mr. Clean Peter Obi is wasting his time? 😭!
The reason is very clear that those criminals will not allow someone who will come to power and change things for the better.
what tony Nnadi and Ninas has been saying
i went through the comments and no one person said something about supporting his NGO. How interesting
Bcos no body understands what he is saying. He is talking out of his a**. The Elites rule Nigeria and the people have no say. He himself is part of the elite.
They are leaders or ruiners because they have money not necessarily because they have character or patriotic .
Go to Burkina Faso and see what Ibrahim Traore is doing and stop this your "big big "grammar!All we need in this country today is visionary leaders not democracy.Selfless leader like Traore not these bunch of old criminals.
We keep telling ourselves yar adua unalived. He was adassinated. He wanted to run an investigation on every person in the political space, starting with him and his family. And that he was going to remove the immunity of position holders. Soon after the declaration of sort, he was rushed abroad for treatment.
I’m listening to this man telling the truth every Black Country always a selllout😅
Note that Nigeria had never met the definition of a cointry considering its numerous contradictions.
DEMOCRACY abi DEMOCARCY...
Everything work by design. Outcome of leadership and followership as we have it in Nigeria today strictly follow the design of her politics. Since the time of President Jonathan, we have suggested that technology has made it possible for millions of people to discuss at the same time so we no longer need representatives like senators/reps. If we must make use of them we must decide what their pay is at the point of their election which must exclude party politics.
General, most people don't understand or are ignorant of their obligations because the constitution are written in languages above them. We need to restructure on a regional basis. For example, India adopts mother tongues, and today, they are technically sound. Without our mother tongues in all our endeavours, we will remain mere spectators in the comity of Nations. Look across Europe and Asia, mother tongue was the first casualty when the invaders arrived. Must we continue in fear to obey the dictates of some military commands ?? Who authorised them to dictate to us. We must liberate ourselves democratically
I don't agree with you, sir, on this. Only an honest person will be able to fix this country.
That is why he said an honest person can only emerge as the president with the right followership.....so, it depends on you and I...
Democracy not democarcy.
They were all failing. They messed up big time. Buhari is the worst of them all.
Fake day, a day many Nigerians died trying to free from oso Abiola,,many dead,i was then in Kaduna
Strong H-factor
The glory of a failling nation
I’m not horn please!
The followership is a problem in Nigeria but the problem is more in poverty and large uneducated population of Nigeria. Tribe and religion has decimated Nigeria and made us to incubate in our tribes and religion. We must unlearn some of the rubbish we have been taught.
I have always been clamoring for a platform for educating effective followership who understand their rights, duties, responsibilities, and obligations.
Check the faces of Buhari and Tinubu among the pictures!
We have the brain power
Like Enugu state. We need L.G. elections
Buhari was a mess.
