In all honesty, a lot of things
happened during Jonathan administration, unfortunately he was not aware
and he solely put his trust and relied on the appointed personalities.
This is quite unfortunate!
The former president, Jonathan did
not bother to supervise or monitor the activities of the people in his
cabinet that is why they rubbished his administration with corrupt
practices. He was ignorant of the monumental treasury heist that took
place under him.
In a meeting with President Buhari recently, it
was gathered that the Bayelsa born politician was shocked when facts and
figures were tabled before him about how corruption reigned supreme
under his leadership. According to the report gathered from the private
meeting, he was quoted to have said that he’s just realizing this
corruption for the first time.
Facts, however, are beginning to
emerge about the presidential meeting, which was said to have been
facilitated by the former Head of States, Abdusalam Abubakar, former
President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja was shocked
to see how his aides milked the economy of the country dry.
We
gathered that the meeting was at the instance of the 2015 Elections
Peace Committee, after former President, Jonathan complained that
President Buhari was not sticking to the peace accord they signed.
Jonathan
was reported to have also sought for understanding on alleged corrupt
practices and mismanagement of funds under his administration, with a
source saying the former President claimed he was hearing about some of
the graft allegations for the first time.
The report however
claimed that President Buhari reportedly insisted that all looted funds
must be returned to the nation’s coffers, adding that the President also
restated his pledge that Jonathan had nothing to fear at all.
According
to a source quoted by the report, the outcome of the meeting between
Buhari and Jonathan formed the motive behind Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo’s declaration at the weekend that the target of the
administration’s anti-corruption war was not Jonathan.
The report
further disclosed that the former President was not comfortable with
the way Buhari moved against his ex-Chief Security Officer (CSO),
ex-National Security Adviser (NSA) and some ministers, asking the
Abdulsalami committee to prevail on Buhari not to rubbish him.
Malok
Jerry and Dele Ogunsakin didn’t waste much time to fire him back on
reading this statement he made. Amazingly, the former president, GEJ has
always been known to take leave of the truth. On so many occasions as
president, he spoke from both sides of his mouth. At a campaign rally,
he said stealing was not corruption. The case at hand now is so bad that
even those he trusted who have come to him for succor are likely not to
get the desired shelter because Mr. Jonathan has made it clear to them
that everybody should now bear his father’s name whether you knew of
corruption or not.
A source said, “This man is always economical
with the truth. When the allegations against former Minister of
Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah broke, what did he do? What of those
allegation against Diezani Allison-Madueke? Was it not Jonathan who
allegedly blamed the House of Representatives of inviting Diezani too
much? Was it not under his leadership Diezani took the House of Reps to
court? Was it not same Jonathan who allegedly said stealing was no
corruption? Where did he get the dollars with which he was bribing
traditional rulers from? Lie has strength, but truth has endurance.”
Another
concerned citizen who were privy of this information said, “It’s so
unfortunate to hear a chief executive of a country claiming he is just
knowing if corruption perpetrated under his administration after
someone’s else has taken over the office, which means he does not have a
way of checking people he employed to work for him. Anyway, Law does
not know ignorance he should be punished according to the law of the
land. The issue on the loot should stand, because it will serve as a
lesson those thinking in that direction.”
