Editor’s note: Since the All Progressives Congress (APC) led – administration was sworn in on May 29, the media has been awash with news of alleged corruption in high places perpetuated by the past administration of Goodluck Jonathan. While these allegations are yet to be verified by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is however worthy to note that these accusations are weighty and should note be swept under the carpet.

The near future of Goodluck Jonathan could be behind bars if a court of law finds him guilty of the alleged corruption and financial recklessness said to have characterised his administration as claimed by the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

While some may be tempted to accuse President Buhari of demonizing and blackmailing the out-gone regime to score cheap political points, it is of note that these allegations have been backed by facts which can be verified.

The Damning Revelation

President Buhari recently returned from a four day visit to the United States where he had discussions with his American counterpart, Barrack Obama on issues bothering on the two countries.

The the meeting between the two leaders included extensive bilateral talks where the US promised to work with Nigeria in strong socio-economic support programmes. The US also promised to lend its support to Nigeria in the fight against terrorism, in addition to rebuilding the Nigerian economy.

But the highlights of Buhari’s US visit was the revelation by the president that Goodluck Jonathan allegedly oversaw one of the most corrupt governments Nigeria has ever had.

During the trip, Buhari disclosed at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC in an interacting with Nigerians in the Diaspora that his administration had begun receiving documents to prosecute Jonathan’s ministers and other government officials who stole “mind-boggling” oil funds.

In a Punch report dated JULY 23, 2015, Buhari reportedly said the documents at his disposal indicted some former ministers and other top government officials of massive fraud, including oil theft.

“The amount of money is mind-boggling but we have started getting documents. We have started getting documents where some of the senior people in government, former ministers, some of them operated as much as five accounts and were moving about one million barrels per day on their own. We have started getting those documents.

“I assure you that whichever documents we are able to get and subsequently trace the sale of the crude or transfer of money from ministries, departments, Central Bank, we will ask for the cooperation of those countries to return those monies to the Federation Accounts,” the president said.

While the allegations against Jonathan’s former ministers are yet to be verified, they should not be trivialized as a vendetta mission because Buhari has developed a reputation of not speaking anyhow.

To buttress this, while serving as president, Goodluck Jonathan once lamented that about 300,000-400,000 barrels of oil was being lost daily as a result of crude oil theft. On another occasion, in an interview with Amanpour of CNN, he pleaded with the international community to help Nigeria combat oil theft which he alleged was done in league with some foreign help.

But the recent revelations by Buhari has not only indicted the previous ministers who served under Jonathan, but Jonathan himself, who has been accused of creating an enabling environment for these plunders to loot the nation’s treasury.

Jonathan: Giulty Or Not Guilty?

While Jonathan cried foul and pointed accusing fingers at the international community for not doing enough to help Nigeria combat oil theft, he refused to scrutinize his so called ministers who have now been accused of championing the oil theft.

OP should understand the basic dictates of law. None of the supposed financial misappropriation allegations can be traced back to him. As long as there is nothing bearing his signature proving he was aware of such illegal activity then he has nothing to fear. At best he can be said to be incompetent. And also, all this so called damning evidence are bogus.
