FLASHBACK: In 2012, Lai attacked Jonathan with TI’s corruption index by References: 8:11am On Jan 29, 2020
DECEMBER 10, 2012
In 2012 when ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was in power, Mohammed, who was the spokesman of the then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), a major part of the bloc that later metamorphosed into the All Progressives Congress (APC), had described the Nigeria’s low ranking on TI index as a proof that Jonathan “is not serious” about fighting corruption.

It was less than two years into that administration and Nigeria was ranked 35th most corrupt country in the world.

In a strongly-worded statement at the time, Mohammed said the “harvest of corruption scandals’’ under the Jonathan administration was unprecedented in Nigeria’s history, and has been attested to by TI.

He had said: “According to the latest CPI, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and one of the continent’s biggest economies was not listed among the top 35 least corrupt nations in Africa, even when it was ranked the 35th most corrupt nations in the world.

“It is also instructive that Liberia and Sierra Leone, which Nigeria helped to liberate from the throes of war are now doing much better in fighting corruption than the country (Nigeria), just like much smaller and less-endowed nations like Niger, Gambia, Burkina Faso and Mali are better rated.

“In all of these and more, the administration has shown an amazing lack of political will in investigating the scams and prosecuting perpetrators. “Worst still, key administrative officials have shown from their careless comments that they either do not understand what it means to fight corruption or they are just trivialising it.

“President Jonathan must wake from his slumber and face the reality that corruption is fast eating deep into the soul of Nigeria, having already decimated the body. He must stop playing the ostrich and lead the way in the fight against corruption before it consumes the country.”

JANUARY 27, 2020
Nigeria is ranked 146 out of 180 of the world's most corrupt nations.
“In any event, we are not fighting corruption because we want to impress any organisation.

“We are fighting corruption because we believed that without fighting the menace, the much sought development will not happen and we have results to show for fighting corruption.

It is not only Lai Mohammed but a lot of fanatical supporter of PMB and APC have lost their sense of decency and judgment.
Even when it is apparent that they are suffering more under PMB they are still defending his mega clueness tegime.
It is rather ironical that some of them have been seeking help and handouts from those they called wailers.

They used to parade T.I's statistics to zombies to prove how corrupt Nigeria was under Jonathan. Fast-forward to the beginning of this administration when they hate anything to do with Transparency International
Bunch of ediots.

IFA said Jonathan among those you have to beg for forgiveness for your life to be on track.... If before 2015 you insulted and maligned him.

The APC is just filled with a bunch of desperately hypocritical and wicked souls.Guess they must have never thought that everything they have done or opposed vehemently will ever come back to hunt them more stronger.Karma is a bitch.

One BMC called me last month to lend him 20k for Xmas, that the economy is bad. I disagreed with him, saying, we now have the best economy in the world.
Though I later helped him with 5k, I advised him to always stand with the truth.
