Jonathan’s Administration Won Gold Medal In Corruption — Tinubu - Mhiz Rebecca - 11-18-2017
All Progressives Congress APC, national
leader, Bola Tinubu, has claimed that the
Goodluck Jonathan-led administration won a
gold medal in corruption, says money “ran
away” from Nigeria’s coffers faster than
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt during the last
administration.
Tinubu make this claims on Thursday during
a keynote speech at the presentation of
‘Making Steady, Sustainable Progressive for
Nigeria’s Peace and Prosperity: A mid-term
scorecard on the President Muhammadu
Buhari Administration’ in state house
conference center, Abuja.
He also if Jonathan had in power, Boko
Haram would have claim more lives and more
territory.
“The prior government used the public
treasury as a private hedge fund or a charity
that limited its giving only to themselves,” he
said.
“So much money grew feet and ran away
faster than Usain Bolt ever could. That which
could have been spent on national
development was squandered in ways that
would cause the devil to blush.
“One minister and her rogues’ gallery picked
the pocket of this nation for billions of
dollars. While poor at governance, these
people could give a master thief lessons in
the sleight of hand. In governance, they
earned a red card but in corruption, they won
the gold medal.
“It was not that our institutions had become
infected by corruption. Corruption has
become institutionalised.”
The former Lagos state governor said the war
on corruption has been won as President
Buhari has set an axe to “the root of this
dangerous tree”.
“We have much to do to combat this
disease. Not only must we track down the
takers. In the long term, we must review the
salaries of public servants and create
universal credits for our people to reduce
temptation,” he added.
