GEJ turns a blind eye to corruption. So, there may not be actual evidence linking his person to corruption but he aids and abets it by not tackling corruption.

In some way, GEJ is like Buhari and Shagari in that evidence of personal corruption is relatively minimal. However, these leaders allowed underlings whether under PTF or in the 2nd Republic to get away with corruption.

The reality is that in the Nigerian political system, corruption oils the wheels of political negotiations. Turning a blind eye to what your supporters do allows you to retain support.

We need concrete evidence of him chopping the money.
jailing the person or identifying plugging the or blocking the conduit pipe, which one of them is more effective? look Buhari has nothing to offer to this country, after he was booted out of office, didn't corruption come back vigorously? because he took the easy way out.

i disagree with u sir.i don't beleive that gej can turn a blind eye to any form of corruption in his cabinet. Many people who accuss gej of corruption can never pinpoint to any corruption allegation against him with proven fact.just as we can say that of Tinubu,Atiku,obj and their likes,no one can say wen gej became corruptible. U said he aid corruption by nt waging a war against it?ok.but if one would wage a thorough war against corruption in Nigeria,then almost all past and present office holder in nigeria government would be licking the walls of kirikiri.and that will require a conplete new buget of it's own.and that's an almost imposible task. So i beleived that's the reason y wen gej was asked in an interview hw he intend to tacle corruption he said;U CAN'T FIGHT CORRUPTION BY LOCKING UP PEOPLE RATHER U BLOCK ANY MEANS USED FOR CORRUPT POUPORSES.and a great example is in the agric sector.

2014 Budget
The Presidency plans to spend at least N2.3 billion on local and international travels and transportation next year. The proposal is contained in the 2014 appropriation bill submitted by President Goodluck Jonathan through the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to the National Assembly last week.

A breakdown of the figure showed that the State House would require the sum of N1, 219, 612, 417 for what it called Local Travels. International travels and transportation will gulp N1, 159, 240, 600 . Na heaven he wan go?

For the whole year, the Presidency intends to spend N200 million for the provision of foodstuffs/catering supplies while it also plans to expend another N162,556,500 on meals and refreshments. For honorarium and sitting allowances, the Presidency has budgeted a princely sum of N320 million for that purpose just as it has set aside the sum of N33.8 million for the office of the Vice-President to take care of his foodstuffs and catering supplies as well as meals and refreshments in the year.

Under the arrangement, N23.8 million will go for foodstuffs and catering supplies while the balance of N10 million will be spent on meals and refreshments in the office of the second in command.

In the same vein, the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is expected to spend the sum of N568,859,940 on honorarium and another N51, 403,464 on meals and refreshments within the fiscal period.

From the day you were born till today, if we calculate how much your parents and yourself have spent on food, is it up to the amount Goatluck Jonathan wants to spend on food in one year? Lat year, he budgeted over one billion naira for food. What do you call this? Oh! it's stealing not corruption.

At the end, there is no concrete evidence to accuse him of corruption ie obasanjo was clearly a corrupt man as he did a lot of corrupt things like the national id card, now we national id cards grace a GEJ. it is clear to all and sundry that he spent $16 on electric power but not even a watt to show for it. I want to see such, against GEJ for me to believe he is corrupt because when the devil is fighting against you then you must be doing something right.

interesting....

how much was petroleum subsidy before GEJ became president? How much is it now? how come kerosene which government pays subsidy for still sells at over 100naira to the so called poor people....

I know that the people behind TAN like Ifeanyi Ubah are major importers of kerosene, the president never arrested them or convicted them for stealing over 1trillion naira, instead the price of oil moved from 65 naira to 97naira, this people walk around the president they even helped him purchase his nomination form.... and you tell me the president isn't corrupt?

Oya tell me how he blocked their means of stealing

I had to bring it down to this level because this is what the average man sees, Did I lie

Don't mind them. They are just blinded by hate for GEJ. If you call Tinubu or Buhari corrupt they will pounce on you, challenging you to produce evidence. Yet the same set of people takes pleasure in accusing GEJ of corruption without any shred of evidence and expect everybody to believe them. What do we call that? APC itself is made of Corruption.

A president who refused to declare his assets as required by law automatically forfeits all expectations not to be seen as corrupt.

The president's body language and utterances also spells corruption; most especially for saying STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.

He is known to pardon corruption - Alams
His government presides over corruption - so many corruption scandals
He courts corruption - since most of his friends are corrupt.
He is married to corruption - PEJ has been indicted by Ribado led EFCC for money laundering
How therefore can he himself be free of corruption?

If a militant leader arrested in South Africa was able to produce evidence of discussing with agents of the President asking him to falsely accuse Northerners what else do you havd to hear to convince you?

You deserve a Gold Medal.
Years of military rule has damage the psychie of most Nigerians. This damage is deeply rooted in their mentality to the point where the only language they understand is show of force. Nigerians have no idea what it means for a Leader to govern through democractic ideals. To them Obasanjo was a strong man because he fought corruption through EFCC. What they don't know was that Obasanjo's so called fight against corruption was mere window dressing. A process he utilized to fight political enemies. He used the police and EFCC to commit gross acts of human rights violation. In fact, He ruled like a military dictator dishing out orders on who to arrested and who to be spared. He's government was mared by blatant disregard of court orders and abuse of power. Many Nigerians don't know that the state of emergency declared on Plateau State by OBJ where the Governor and the State House of Assembly were suspended was highly illegal, a classic case of impunity and blatant disregard of the constitution. Yet no one challenge it. Why? Because he controlled the National Assembly. OBJ's interference in the National Assembly was mind boggling. It got to a point where he decides who becomes the Senate President and Speaker of the house of Representatives. This is unheard of in civilized democracies anywhere in the world.
OBJ's rule was also characterized by rigging and imposition of candidates. Candidates he feels are loyal and will do he's bidding. Is this what democractic rule is all about? Excessive control and blatant abuse of power? Definitely not. At best he's government can be described as Military Rule in Civilian Camouflage. There's nothing democratic about Obasanjo's regime.
Goodluck Jonathan is the first Leader in Nigeria's history to govern the country democratically by STRICT observance of the CONSTITUTION and the RULE of LAW. It is because of these ideals and adherence to democratic principles that some tagged him weak.
