TRANSPARENCY INT’L RATES
PRESIDENT JONATHAN GOVT AS
BEST, SAYS BUHARI, OBASANJO
GOVTS WORSE
According to Transparency International’s data
from 1979 till date, the tenures of both
General Muhammadu Buhari and former
President Olusegun Obasanjo were more
corrupt than the tenure of President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The data also showed that under the
administration of President Jonathan, Nigeria
has recorded its best score in the Corruption
Perception Index (CPI) since 1979. This is in
complete contrast to the sordid picture of
rampant corruption being painted by the
opposition, ardent critics of the Jonathan
administration and much of the media in the
last few years – especially in the build up to
the general elections.
But the point that the figures from
Transparency International make so clearly is
that, in comparative terms, Nigeria is actually
much less corrupt today, and perceived
globally to be much less corrupt today, than it
has been in the last 35 years – including under
the regimes of General Buhari and President
Obasanjo, both of who wear the toga and
chant the mantra of anti-corruption.
Shockingly, according to the TI data, President
Obasanjo’s first tenure had the worst scale of
corruption during the 35 years period between
1979 and 2015.
The TI Corruption Perception Index is a rating
of countries from 1 to 100 showing their
corruption scale. A rating of 1 is the worst and
rating of 100 means a country is completely
free of corruption. The pass mark is 50 and
any country scoring below 50 is considered a
corrupt country.
In the year 2000, Nigeria was ranked the most
corrupt country in the world – and improved
marginally in 2001 and 2003 when it was rated
the second most corrupt nation in the world in
the TI’s Corruption Perception Index. This was
certainly not under the watch of President
Jonathan.
Since 2012, Nigeria has made steady
improvements in the CPI. Indeed, under
President Jonathan, for the first time in
decades, Nigeria is not in the list of 1-10 most
corrupt countries in the world.
In the 2014 Transparency International’s
Corruption Perception Index, issued in
December, Nigeria was ranked 136 out of 175
countries surveyed in the report. This ranking
placed Nigeria, alongside five other countries,
as the 39th most corrupt country in the world.
This is Nigeria’s best ranking in the last four
years.
With this ranking, Nigeria leapfrogged eight
countries within a space of one year – from
the 31st most corrupt nation in 2013 to the
39th in 2014. This may be regarded by cynics
as a small achievement: but it represents a big
step in the right direction.
Indeed, the administration of President
Jonathan deserves some commendation for
the positive steps it has taken, and the modest
achievements it has made so far, in the war
against corruption – rather than the vengeful
knocks it is receiving from various quarters.

CPI has been marginally improving especially with democracy and institution of more anti-corruption systems and technology. This is no GEJ's making. He built on what he inherited and this will continue with sustained democracy. Giving the credit to GEJ is sheer ignorance
