Ezekwesili Defends Stance, Says No Empirical Evidence Obasanjo Is Corrupt by Trailblazer1(m): 8:06pm On May 05, 2015 |
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has defended her claim that there is no empirical evidence that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo is corrupt. It will be recalled that Ezekwesili during an interview on Al Jazeera, said that there was no evidence of corruption in the former President’s regime despite reports to the contrary. “There was no way it could have been more corrupt that the government of Abacha. I am sorry,” she said speaking of Obasanjo’s regime, where she served as a Minister. When asked about a Wikileaks report which quoted former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu as saying that everyone was a thief in Obasanjo’s government, Mrs Ezekwesili said: “The next person you should invite to your show should be Nuhu Ribadu. Its not about rejecting his views. I don’t have counter-factory evidence on the basis to reject it” When asked about her opinion on how corrupt Obasanjo was, she said: “Is that supposed to be a question on the basis of some factual thing that you are putting before me? My sense of President Obasanjo was that he gave me the freedom to define the work that I did that public procurement was more transparent than it used to be.” She has taken to her Twitter page to defend her stance, insisting there is no empirical evidence that Obasanjo is corrupt. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/ezekwesili-defends-stance-says-no-empirical-evidence-obasanjo-is-corrupt/ 4 Likes 1 Share |

This woman must be kidding us. 0basanjo already promised her a ministerial post after may 29. If I may ask ma'am,what happened to the Harliburton. scandal? What happened to the semens scandal? What happened to the 16 billion dollars the world bank gave to Obasanjo for electricity? What happened to Ibeato's cement? Why did he allow it to get blocked at wharf around 2006? Is that not corruption? This woman should please swerve. We all know the real deal. 102 Likes 5 Shares |

I refuse to make any disparaging comment against Dr. Oby due to the respect I have for her and what she stands for but however, I have come to realise her gross with GEJ wasn't just about perceived bad governance but lack of appointments and recognition in his government and this ultimately amounts to hypocrisy.

@ Demdem though you almost made it impossible for me to quote your ignorant statement below, it will be criminal if I don't.
What a baseless and unfounded statement. This how you manufacture propaganda and spread it all over the internet. And it becomes a fact without being refuted early. I'm certain you don't understand the meaning of the word "Emperical Fact" Imagine how you just interpreted your dumb assumption to be a fact. 13 Likes |

Obasanjo is definitely corrupt when universal standards are used. He did not directly dipped his hands in the treasury like jonathan ,Abacha,Babangida( the reason why he accumulated a $60 billion reserve) Obasanjo's corruption was more of conflict of interest like giving patronage and collecting donations from people who want patronage from the government. But based on what came before him and the record which Yaradua and jonathan have set , It is safe to say that obj is not corrupt. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Useless OBJ concubines. So what happened to the $16 billion dollars meant for Independent power plants that suddenly disappeared? How did OBJ suddenly get almost N2 billion naira to build a library and even more funds to float his own private university? How did OBJ suddenly find billions of naira to transform Otta farms which was completely decrepit and bankrupt before he became President of Nigeria? Yeye dey smell 40 Likes 4 Shares |

There was no way it (OBJ's regime) could have been more corrupt that the government of Abacha. I am sorry,” How does the statement above translate in the brains of some people to mean "OBJ's government was not corrupt"? Nigeria as a nation is just filled with educated illiterates. 1. Oby never denied that OBJ's government was corrupt. She agreed that the regime was corrupt and that steps were taken to fight the corruption; even though the fight wasnt successful 2. Oby never said OBJ was not corrupt. She only tactically refused to answer the question and that was common sense at work. Sometimes I wonder the kind of education some of these journalists have for them to come up with such interpretations. I also wonder the kind of schools some Nigerians went to. It is one thing to say a person's government is corrupt and it is another thing to say the person himself is corrupt. Common sense and diplomacy in speech entails that you do not answer certain questions directly in public especially when no competent law court has convicted him of corruption. Oby may have accused GEJ of administrative incompetence, irresponsibility and running a massively corrupt government. But I am yet to see where she openly accuses the man GEJ himself of being corrupt. The lady has a degree in diplomacy and wouldn't have attained her present heights if she spoke carelessly on international TV. 19 Likes 4 Shares |
