There Is No Goodluck in Corruption - Femi Aribisala - 18 February 2014

At a service held at the Ecumenical Centre in Abuja to commemorate the 2012 Democracy Day, Reverend Peter Akinola challenged President Goodluck Jonathan, his wife and some PDP governors and ministers to pray against corruption in Nigeria, but they refused.

Akinola publicly berated them. He exclaimed: "There you go! Oh, corruption! So, you are not ready to fight it, because you are all beneficiaries of it.

Who is deceiving who? You are only deceiving yourselves, not God.

And you who is stealing government funds, subjecting the poor to untold hardship;

You who steal oil subsidy money

You who steal funds meant for improving our power supply, deliberately making Nigerians live a life in utter darkness, will you repent today? I doubt it!"

President Goodluck Jonathan undermined any pretensions to be anti-corruption by granting a presidential pardon to Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, the former Governor of Bayelsa State. Alamieyeseigha is a convicted felon. He was arrested in London for money-laundering, where over $1 million in cash was found in his house. He jumped bail, escaped from the country disguised as a woman, and fled back home. He then sought refuge in his constitutional immunity from prosecution as a governor. However, he was promptly impeached, charged with corruption and sentenced to two years in prison.

President Jonathan himself has refused to declare his assets. During a June 24, 2012 Presidential Media chat, the President said that he could not give a damn what the people think of him in response to the demand for him to declare his assets publicly.

In effect, Nigeria is now a haven for corruption and for the corrupt. Recently, a man stole N23 billion in a pension scam and all he had to do was pay a fine of less than one million naira. The message was heard loud-and-clear around the country: corruption pays in Nigeria.

SMH

I can't laugh o.Are we talking about 'stealing' here or corruption?
But seriously,it is a serious issue.That statement was made in 2012 if am not mistaken.Two years on,what do we have?
Sometimes I wonder what it would take to turn things around.

^^^More reason why we must vote out this corrupt government.

A shoddy work by some insufferable APC propagandist.

Pele!
