Femi Adesina, the spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, has said the corruption ranking of the country is about Nigerians and not the government.

He said Nigerians share in the blame of the country’s bad ranking in Transparency International’s (TI) corruption perception index (CPI).

In 2017, Nigeria dropped from 136 in 2016 to 148 on the index of TI. Speaking during a Channels Television’s programme on Monday, Femi Adesina said the ranking is about Nigerians and not the federal government. He said;
“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,”

“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.”
He also 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. He added;

“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,” he said.

“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.”

Exactly. Now it's about Nigerians

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 shit better shit 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...
