The man actually praised Jonathan agriculture program before saying this..Why did you not complaining about that?. Corruption was just too much about that regime even in the good things they tried to do

kestolove95:

You better run before they start running their fingers on you

How come the sand increased the agricultural output of Nigeria during GEJ's reign which attracted both internal and external encomiums on the then minister of agriculture?

let address the issue here, the agricultural sector is laden with corruption especially in procuring fertilizers from state agency. I don't think it is a blame game although the previous administration tried a lot in this regard am not taking that away from them... but you Nigerians are Nigerians thief's everywhere . you could ask any farmer

Politics aside, the problem actually precedes Jonathan and Jonathan's government achieved a lot in reducing this fertiliser scam. Hopefully the new agric ministry would do more to eliminate it.
