President Goodluck
Jonathan took his
campaign to Ibadan, the
Oyo State capital, on
Monday where he
described some former
National Democratic
Coalition leaders in the
South-West as hypocrites.
The President, who
arrived at the Mapo Hall
venue of the campaign at
12.50pm after paying
homage to the Olubadan
of Ibadanland, Oba
Samuel Odulana, had in
his entourage the
National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic
Party, Adamu Mu’azu,
members of the National
Working Committee of
the party, the Ondo State
Governor, Olusegun
Mimiko, Mrs. Jumoke
Akinjide and other
National Assembly
members.
Also present were the
National Publicity
Secretary of the party,
Olisa Metu; the Director
General of the National
Campaign Organisation,
Dr. Ahmadu Alli; the
Director, Media and
Publicity of his campaign
organisation, Femi Fani-
Kayode; the party’s
governorship candidate in
Oyo State, Teslim Folarin
and other party stalwarts.
While calling on the
South-West leaders to
justify their leadership
style and love for the
people, Jonathan said that
instead of building prisons
for the youths, he would
build schools for them.
He said, “I did say that
the South-West reminds
one of the days of the
National Democratic
Coalition. But I am
convinced that some of
the NADECO actors are
hypocrites, because they
cannot justify what they
are doing today. The
South-West believes in
human rights and social
justice. No south-
westerner will pray that
someone who does not
go through proper trial
will be jailed for 300
years and above. If they
are not hypocrites, they
couldn’t be doing what
they are doing today, but
I don’t want to go into
that now. If they are not
hypocrites, they will not
be talking about not
empowering women.
“Without education, you
cannot change people. If
I did not go to school, I
will not be where I am
today. Every Nigerian
child must have the
Goodluck opportunity;
that is why we are
building out-of-school
children secondary
schools and Almajiris
schools in some parts of
Nigeria. I will not build
prison for you but I will
build schools for you.”
On the issue of corruption
in government, Jonathan
said that his
administration had tried
and jailed many Nigerians
but it would not solve the
problem. He explained
that the problem would
be solved through
modern technology
rather than harsh
approach.
He said, “On the issue of
corruption, let me
reassure Nigerians that
my commitment and
method of solving the
problem of corruption is
not the number of people
I tried and jailed. We
have tried more
Nigerians; more Nigerians
have been jailed within
this period after passing
through due process. But
I have told people that if
I try 10 million Nigerians
and jail five million for
corruption; that will not
solve the problem. We
must use modern
technology to prevent
people from stealing, and
that is what we are
working on. If you vote
me in again, the day I will
leave after four years, the
next president will not
have to tackle corruption
because we will use
technology to block areas
where people are
corruptly enriching
themselves. We are no
longer in the analogue
generation, I will solve
corruption problem in this
country.”
The President also used
