The Presidency on Sunday said contrary to what many might believe, Nigeria was winning the war on corruption under President Goodluck Jonathan’s watch.
It said although it might not be immediately known to many, the fight against corruption had been taken several notches higher since Jonathan came on board.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, made this known in a statement in Abuja.
“There is no doubt that Nigeria is winning the war on corruption. It may not be immediately apparent to those who do not understand the dynamics of applying creative techniques in upturning an age-old habit that has cost this country a lot in terms of financial resources; but to those like the officials in Transparency International knowledgeable in the nuances of fighting corruption, a lot of grounds have been covered,” Okupe said.
He said the nation’s movement from its 144th position on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index last year to 136th position this year was an indication that a lot had been achieved by this administration in the anti-corruption war

Don't mind them, with their shameless lies. They keep nauseatingly regurgitating the same 'reform in the distribution of fertilizer' as if that is the only avenues of corruption in the country. What about the massive corruption in the oil sector, the Customs Service, etc? Are we not all living witnesses to the way the corrupt-in-chief is shielding the Queen of Sleaze who spent billions on private jets?

What about all the corrupt elite from all over the country that are being pardoned and politically rehabilitated, with some of them even being reappointed into key positions, all for the clueless desperado to get re-elected?

Where is the EFCC today? Why was Nuhu Ribadu so popular, both locally and internally, and the EFCC under him was so dreaded by the corrupt elite during the OBJ's admin, but Nigerians today hardly remember the name of the current EFCC chairman?

And which politician would even be afraid of the EFCC under Jonathan, when they all know that they can be as corrupt as they like, and get away with everything, as long as they subscribe to his re-election agenda?

Another slap on our faces.

If this administration has any iota of credibility someone like Okupe won't be there talking nonsnse.

Even a 5 year old child knows this is a bloody lie.

Yes, it is similar to the blatant lies NOI shamelessly spews every now and then on how they have reduced poverty and unemployment in the country, while even a 5 year child, as you put it, knows that ordinary Nigerians ALL OVER THE COUNTRY are only getting poorer under this corrupt and incompetent admin. It's only the thieving elite that do not see the glaring failures of the GEJ. govt.
