According to Chuks Ibegbu, a former deputy national publicity secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, politicians ought to take the oath of office in front of African deities like Amadioha and Ogun.
Ibegbu asserted that swearing in politicians with African deities will stop them from plundering the public coffers while in office.
The public affairs expert asked the National Assembly to pass regulations that would allow lawmakers to take the oath of office in the presence of African deities while speaking with Newsmen.

According to Ibegbu: “I advocate that all political office holders in Nigeria be sworn into office using Africa Oaths with our deities.
“Politicians are no longer afraid of the Bible and Koran and should be sworn in with African deities to instil fear and honesty in them. Unless this is done, our politicians will continue to loot us dry and mess up our lives.
“Politicians should swear with Amadioha, Ogun, Chockonoze, they will think twice before looting our patrimony. We, therefore, call on the National Assembly to pass a law to that effect immediately.”
Ibegbu also called for the abolition of security votes, adding that the “immunity clause and full-time national and state legislature, at Nigeria’s cost is inhumane and outrageous.
