“For the first time in the history of this country,
corruption has graduated from the stealing of millions, billions and today into
trillions.
“The government of President Goodluck Jonathan is yet to
prosecute one corrupt official; not one politically exposed person has been
jailed under Jonathan’s administration.”
Former member of the House of Representatives and executive
secretary of Anti-Corruption Network, Hon Dino Melaye, has described the
government of President Goodluck Jonathan as the most corrupt in the history of
the country.
Speaking with Leadership in Abuja, Hon Dino said under the
leadership of President Jonathan, corruption has become a national anthem,
warning that the country is doomed if the trend is not halted.
He said corruption is thriving because there is total lack
of political will to fight the monster by the presidency. Melaye said the
situation would continue as long as the power to appoint EFCC and ICPC heads
reside with the president and called for constitutional amendment that will
take the power to appoint the chairman of the important anti-graft agencies as
well was as that of INEC to the National Judicial Council (NJC).
