SAN FRANCISCO, November 01, (THEWILL) - Vice President Muhammad Namadi Sambo Thursday debunked media reports which quoted him as saying that the President Goodluck Jonathan administration will track and nail corrupt governors

Sambo allegedly made the comment at the public presentation of a book written by the Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, where he represented President Goodluck Jonathan at the book event on Tuesday in Abuja.

A statement by Sani Umar, the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity stated said the Vice President was quoted out of context.

“Our attention was drawn to a publication in some national newspapers where President Goodluck Jonathan was reported to have stated that they will nail corrupt governors. The President who was represented by the Vice President at the occasion of the book launch titled “Reforming the Unreformable” by the Coordinating Minister of the economy and Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, which held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, never made any such statement referring to any governor.

“Rather the statement in question reads in part “on the governance level, we are going after those who commit economic crimes and corrupt practices with impunity,” the statement said.

It sought “all those mediums who reported Mr. President’s statement inappropriately to address it properly and reflect the correct statement. This will set the records straight by not misleading members of the public and casting aspersions on governors who are our partners in progress in our transformation agenda,” the release said.

Ole no go catch ole.

why shy away from the anti corruption campaign that promised to spare no sacred cow? the way our leaders go about prosecuting corruption is selfish and just to witch hunt opposition.

our present crop of leaders are the most timid set of clown any serious country can ever have. do these guys really have balls at all or they are corroborating the puppet leader that they are?

call a spade what it is and go after any one with taint of corruption.

Y is sambo denayng dat,is dia anytn sacrijagious abot nailng our state rogues.atimes i wondr wat d heck is wrong wit ds con3

Is he afraid of nailing the corrupt governors.

What a shame! he's too scared to even say the word let alone carry out the action

In other words "FGN will not nail corrupt Governors" abi.

Sambo is just a ceremonial head what do you expect from him its allow let him swallow his words after all some northern governors are financial member of boko haram. we say GEJ IS WEAK BUT SAMBO IS WEAKER

FRESH AIR INDEED!!!

There is no difference between what the media had reported and this correction.IMO.

Ikwere fist son: Y is sambo denayng dat,is dia anytn sacrijagious abot nailng our state rogues.atimes i wondr wat d heck is wrong wit ds con3

please let us use correct and readable English when making comments.

Dont mention Mr VP. We Nigerians dont expect the federal government to nail corrupt governors because corruption is written all over the federal government.

He does not want to nail himself or his brother Governors.

Let's put this context...what would happen if he stood by the misquoted statement: Federal government will nail corrupt governors? Don't we have corrupt governors including yourself Arc. Sambo? Our leaders have sense of humor and they do these with impunity thinking that we (the people) are fo$ols.

This is disheartning.im so ashamed.wtf...

Hahahahahaha,we really have them as leaders o.Anyway thats a wise step he took to debunk d said words,cos he knows who and where d real power lies.But make no mistakes,d said gov must be getting prepared now for a showdown with d FG,because this words were not mere words,d FG may actually be nursing such plans,but too bad d VP has already given them a tip off.So d FG must remember that He that must come to equity must come with clean hands.U dnt mozzle d ox that thread d corn.Though i cant wait for such a showdown.God bless Nigeria

No surprise. Was sambo and his boss not themselves in the camp of corrupt governors?

OK Afraid catch sambo Now am beginning to miss obj and EFCC during his regime i remembeber how he fearlessly used sitting State governors to stone the ground left right center OBJ U 2 MUCH

All his so called "achievements" were actually his predecessor's work. All he did was to repackage all the projects with his face on it. Someone that did absolutely nothing for Kaduna state except chopping all the money the state had. Fucking klepto.
Why wont he say that the FG will not prosecute any governors when he is at the top of the list. Bloody bastard!

Of all statements to deny, he denies the one that will bring people small hope.

In other words - Bush meat will not catch the hunger and vice versa.

*singing*
when I shout Ole even thief go dey folo to dey shout ole,
Who be the thief who be hunter?
Who be the bush meat, who be hunter?
If you thiefu thiefu today...tomorrow u go need to thief no more!!!

So it is now a crime to nail corrupt officials In Nigeria

'We will nail every corrupt Nigerian that is not a governor'.

it was ovious with the case of james ibori

emmatok:

So it is now a crime to nail corrupt officials In Nigeria

reading the topic really saddens my heart...
imagine wetin dis man dey tawk!

only in nigeria will government officials appologise for allegedly promising to do the right thing.

ypzilanti: 'We will nail every corrupt Nigerian that is not a governor'.

Because the governors are not corrupt. In other words, the efcc anti-graft laws only applies to everyday people that doesn't hold public office. Smh for this country

Well the governors are covered by the immunity clause, so it's not that EFCC can just prosecute them.

Having said that, I would have been hopeful had some of our corrupt ex-governors were rotting in jail.

chai!!! 9ja!!! see wetin our children go start this ultimate journey of life with.....imagine sambo. YOUTHS MAKE UNA STAND UP O!!!!

Remii: In other words "FGN will not nail corrupt Governors" abi.

Thumps up.
