Former President Goodluck Jonathan says his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari, not only worsened the level of corruption in Nigeria but also chased away investors by de-marketing Nigeria abroad.

Jonathan added that rather than take Nigeria to the next level, the Buhari istration decided to engage in media trials which also worsened the corruption perception of Nigeria thereby leading to Nigeria’s slip in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index.

The former President said this in his recently published book titled, ‘My Transition Hours’.

He said, “The sundry accusations by the new istration will appear to have baited the media. Media trials are entertaining but have little or no effect in fighting corruption and improving the economy.

“Since I left office, rather than improve on our TI corruption perception record, the situation has worsened with the nation going 12 places backward, becoming number 148 according to the latest I ranking for 2014, from 136 in 2014 when I was President.

“It was bad enough that Boko Haram insurgency continued killing people and ruining businesses but what is worse is when politicians downgrade the economy by de-marketing the country internationally.”

The former President said the Buhari istration failed to realise that foreign investors are always very sensitive to the utterances of the government.

He said in the process of trying to dig a hole for him, the Buhari government ended up digging a hole for the nation.

Jonathan added, “You should never try to slander your political opponent by destroying your country’s economy. Capital flight intensified and companies started laying off staff. In all this, I hope a lesson will be learned. If you embark on digging a hole for your enemy, you better make it shallow because you might end up in the hole yourself.

“How do you attract investors you already repelled through your utterances? Investors are an ultrasensitive lot. Money runs away from unstable societies.”

Hatred for Jonathan has made you blind. Jonathan may have not done well in your own judgement. Here he is advising this govt. to. be mindful of their speeches as such matters in int'l politics

Is good to remind Nigerians because they forget things easily.

So call corruption that started since 1904.
America came to remind Nigerians about corruption in 2014
Same people that allow corrupt leaders to keep their money in u.s banks. Where is the list of names and amount they promise to release??

GJ. problem started when he said No to gay right in Nigeria, the agenda was to use the largest black populated nation to kick start gay right in Africa.

One of the reasons they refuse to sell Arms to Nigeria to fight terrorist.

Same people predicted war in Nigeria 2015, because they feel GJ will not step down after helping APC to rig him out

Wicked people , blood sucking wizards
The white man is not your friend.
They have agenda in Africa.

Africa wake up .

The handwriting is everywhere for another page.
Because this istration is not communicating well.

Mr ogogoro drinker to stupor, were u better? Pls STF and let see front abeg. If you had done well we won't av voted him in the first place. Ur weaknesses made us see him as a better option.

This clueless criminal and petty kleptomaniac will not keep quiet abi? The man who spent 6 years and provided no single COMPLETED infrastructure, even while crude sold for $120 is here talking. Bulshit! A government that came in with crude selling at less than $40 a barrel has been able to COMPLETE his projects and lift us out of the recession he and his band of thieves plunged us into. Jonathan should just shut the fuuukk up and enjoy his loot. Anuofia!

GEJ plz sir, no talk again, no vex plz

Oga Jonah, you were praised yesterday by all.

Do not let us curse you today.

GEJ following PMB foot step of Blame Game

No Nigerian politician is clean, even Buhari.

I don't corruption, but Nigeria has been corrupt yet IBB and Abacha built 3rd Mainland Bridges, Abuja, River Niger Bridge and other infrastructure. Even.OBJ brought telephone communications, Jonathan bought warships for NAvy, railway constructions, and so on.


What has Buhari done and there is corruption, even in his kitchen cabinet

Take a look at the most recent corruption under Buhari (I am quoting myself from another post):

They lied to us that they are fighting corruption but take a look at the headlines of newspaper headlines below:

Buhari is a disaster. Pure and simple.

Shut ur filthy mouth, useless loser....too much lamentation. Mumu

This is very true. Quick question for everyone....

- Have our documents started moving through Government offices without money being the vehicle to move files from one office to another in an official procedure?

- Have our Government officials declared their assets?

- Have Nigerian Ports Authority and Customs stopped or reduced in collecting bribes ?

- Have contracts stopped being awarded without kickbacks?.... #Gandollar

Someone is being fed with N3.5Mn/monthly in some government incarceration, ...

Jona u may not be a good messenger but your message is point on and correct period

Very true

Ok

The raw truth. Buhari abi Jubril is good at destroying us. he must be rooted out come 2019

Is the book a textbook or what? Ayam not understanding please

sureheaven:
This buffoon husband of baboon called Jonathan shld stop this nonsense of blaming everybody.

I’ve read books written by meaningful human being like Wole Soyinka, Shakespeare, Nelson Mandela, bill Clinton, George Washington and a lot of people that has impacted lives, I don’t know what to call this man’s own. What morals does his book portrays.

This man truly and ineffectual Buffon

why do u keep disgracing yourself and your family everytime, spit on you, typical zombie, what you wrote does it make sense

"..Despite the President’s public anti-corruption platform, Transparency International has not seen any reduction in corruption since Buhari took office. In fact, the precise opposite has happened, with Nigeria falling 12 places between the 2016 and 2017 rankings...."

President Buhari currently faces serious allegations, which include staging show trials of opponents of a regime that is accused of corruption and graft, while simultaneously shielding his own party and inner circle.

We should all welcome international efforts to attract international investment into developing economies. However, to do this successfully Nigeria must seriously tackle corruption, rather than use it as a smokescreen.

PDP had their own fair share of corruption but a lots were contained & punished accordingly but no high profile esp.executive corruption in this APC
government have been thoroughly probed or punished.

APC loves lies and propaganda.So they are allergic to the truth.Meanwhile Jonathan is taking it to them red,red hot.Let them have a taste of their own blame game.

Mtcheew


This dude seems extremely pained he lost the election

Ok. He can hear you
