I listened to President Jonathan during the media chat yesterday and
when the issue of corruption was raised, he answered that corruption is
not the biggest problem in Nigeria. He said Transparency International
assessment of Nigeria is a perception and not real. He said corruption
is No. 4 or 5.
When
asked what No. 1 and 2 are the president began to stutter. He came up
with an answer that businessmen investing in Nigeria complain of access
to finance as the No 1 problem of Nigeria.
Does
this man knows what he is talking about? Perhaps corruption has eaten
into the fibrics of Nigeria to the extend that the President does not
see it as out bane in this country. Corruption is everywhere and the
president says it is not the No. 1 problem. Is there any hope of winning
the war against corruption?
If corruption
is not the No 1 problem in Nigeria, what is responsible for all the
failed contract in power sector, the problem in the petroleum sector,
the high cost of governance, the escalated contract sums, and so many
problem in Nigeria.
The President needs to learn to be more
presidential in his speeches. He needs to choose his words when he
answers questions. His response should give hope to the common man on
the street. We look up to the President for change in Nigeria. We voted
him because we thought he understands our plight and will be fair and
reasonable. We are not getting what we hoped for.
If
he saays corruption is not the No 1 problem in Nigeria, let hm prove to
us what is No 1 and convince us as such. I hope he is not covering up
his cronies as the common man has in his thoughts. Most Nigerians do not
believe the President anymore let him not make his reputation plummet
the more with statements like the ones he made at the media chat.
God help Nigeria
