Presidency Exonerates Buhari; Blames Nigerians For Nigeria’s Poor Rating On Corruption

The federal government has blamed Nigerians for Nigeria’s poor ranking on corruption.

Nigeria has been ranking low in fight against anti-graft practises since the President Muhammadu Buhari administration took over the affairs of the country. Several corruption allegations raised against its officials and allies has often been swept under the carpet with little or no action to deal with the alleged culprits.



Transparency International (TI), a global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption, in its latest report said the country index position on its table dropped from 136 in 2016 to 148 in 2017.

For an administration that prides itself of fighting corruption, the ranking was seen as a blow to their efforts to get rid of graft practises in the country.



Blaming Nigerians for the poor rating, a presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, said the rating is about how corrupt Nigerians were as the government do not deserve a fair share of the blame.

Exonerating his principal, Mr Adesina chided TI for the ranking, saying the country does not need it to verify whatever effort the current administration is making in anti-graft war.



“My position is that that ranking is not strictly about government, it is about Nigeria and her people. Some people want to make it seem as if it is a vote of no confidence in government or a lower mark for government, I don’t agree,” Adesina said on Monday while featuring in a programme on Channels Television.

“I think it is a lower mark for the people, because the people constitute the country. And I think if things do not seem to have worked as they should work, the people also have part of the brunt; they have part of the blame to bear.



“As much as I respect Transparency International, I don’t think we necessarily need them to authenticate what is going on in the country because we Nigerians know that there is a war against corruption ongoing and that war is succeeding. There are strides being taken. We may not be there yet but we are on our way there.

“So, let no agency from any part of the world come to think that whatever it says is the gospel to us. It can help, it can inform what is happening but it s not something that will be a milestone round the neck of government.”

So the Nigerian people became more corrupt in this administration?

It will not be well with people who will vote back this government and it's appointed clowns.

Femi Adesina is a big fool.

The ranking is perfect i have done business in Jonathan govt and in present govt and nothing has change.
The SON official collect money in their account without fear for doing their job and if you dont pay they will frustrate you. Same happens with NAFADC and Customs.
There is no way that business can move in Nigeira without greasing some people palm

This is food for thought

Yeye regime.
Soon they will blame the dead for food shortages in Nigeria

Where is that meme of buhari the bus driver, passing blaims after accident when I need it now.

Irresponsible beings will soon blame God

An incompetent man always blame his tools for his failures.

The lifeless one, Buhari will soon blame Nigerians for electing him.

Nigerians are all corrupt


Except Buhari and his zombie supporters

Abeg who swear for Nigeria with this stupid and useless APC government?

This one just weak me...

Mr. FEMI knows the Truth and Knows that the Corruption fight has not been Successful..

He is only doing his Job..

I can't vouch for the wellness and sanity of this gentleman who's become known for deliberately bleating from every corner of his face in a bid to sound intelligent and delivering the goods of press releases for his paymasters.

He just might be right though even though the jury is still locked up on this his "Nigerians" statement seeing how much "Nigeria" as a country is so far detached from its citizens "The Nigerians".


If I say make I unzip my pants now come poo better poo for this man head now dem go say I don start again.

What sort of an unguarded statement is this?

What does the average Nigerian know about the number of OPLs and OMLs at the country's beck.

When has the ordinary Nigerians started the lifting and reciept of sales from these liftings.

The ordinary Nigerian is indeed saddled with the humongous and often times un-implemented and unretired budgets including the over-bloated salaries and allowances for zero jobs carried out.

No be una fault sha...
Enjoy my siggy

I hope u will not return to deeper life after this your lying competition.

Idiot

This madman's community youths should set his father's compound on fire already!

What a bastard!

We elected you to fix our problems,which we thought the previous govt did not address but what did we get back blame....blame...blame...blame.
You blame the citizens...you blame the previous govt...you blame the international community.

The earlier you start taking responsibility the better for all of us.
