Ace comedian Ali Baba, in an Independence Day message, stated that his wish for corrupt Nigerian leaders is that “their medical bills be higher than they stole” and for “peace to be far from them.”

Making the statement via his Instagram account, the comedian wrote:

“Happy 55th Independence to all Nigerians. Our country will be great again. We will become a great nation again. Amen. On the other hand, to all those who had a hand in sinking us to the bottom of development, as our country is at now, may their medical bills be higher than they stole and may peace and long life be far from them. Happy new month.” 

It will be recalled that the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai earlier revealed on Thursday that each of the last four Independence Day celebrations gulped an average of N12 billion Naira; a wide contrast to the meager N70 million spent by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
