I Didn’t Know Corruption Was This Much Under Me- Former Pres, Goodluck Jonathan by mikeangelo(m): 4:47am On Aug 11, 2015
In all honesty, a lot of things happened during Jonathan administration, unfortunately he was not aware and he solely put his trust and relied on the appointed personalities. This is quite unfortunate! The former president, Jonathan did not bother to supervise or monitor the activities of the people in his cabinet that is why they rubbished his administration with corrupt practices. He was ignorant of the monumental treasury heist that took place under him. Malok Jerry and Dele Ogunsakin didn't waste much time to fire him back on reading this statement he made.

In a meeting with President Buhari recently, it was gathered that the Bayelsa born politician was shocked when facts and figures were tabled before him about how corruption reigned supreme under his leadership. According to the report gathered from the private meeting, he was quoted to have said that he’s just realizing this corruption for the first time.
Facts, however, are beginning to emerge about the presidential meeting, which was said to have been facilitated by the former Head of States, Abdusalam Abubakar, former President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja was shocked to see how his aides milked the economy of the country dry.

We gathered that the meeting was at the instance of the 2015 Elections Peace Committee, after former President, Jonathan complained that President Buhari was not sticking to the peace accord they signed.

Jonathan was reported to have also sought for understanding on alleged corrupt practices and mismanagement of funds under his administration, with a source saying the former President claimed he was hearing about some of the graft allegations for the first time.
The report however claimed that President Buhari reportedly insisted that all looted funds must be returned to the nation’s coffers, adding that the President also restated his pledge that Jonathan had nothing to fear at all.

According to a source quoted by the report, the outcome of the meeting between Buhari and Jonathan formed the motive behind Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo’s declaration at the weekend that the target of the administration’s anti-corruption war was not Jonathan.

The report further disclosed that the former President was not comfortable with the way Buhari moved against his ex-Chief Security Officer (CSO), ex-National Security Adviser (NSA) and some ministers, asking the Abdulsalami committee to prevail on Buhari not to rubbish him.
Amazingly, the former president, GEJ has always been known to take leave of the truth. On so many occasions as president, he spoke from both sides of his mouth. At a campaign rally, he said stealing was not corruption. The case at hand now is so bad that even those he trusted who have come to him for succor are likely not to get the desired shelter because Mr. Jonathan has made it clear to them that everybody should now bear his father’s name whether you knew of corruption or not.

A source said, “This man is always economical with the truth. When the allegations against former Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah broke, what did he do? What of those alleged against Diezani? Was it not Jonathan who allegedly blamed the House of Representatives of inviting Diezani too much? Was it not under his leadership Diezani took the House of Reps to court? Was it not same Jonathan who allegedly said stealing was no corruption? Where did he get the dollars with which he was bribing traditional rulers from? Lie has strength, but truth has endurance.”

Another concerned citizen who were privy of this information said, “It’s so unfortunate to hear a chief executive of a country claiming he is just knowing if corruption perpetrated under his administration after someone's else has taken over the office, which means he does not have a way of checking people he employed to work for him. Anyway, Law does not know ignorance he should be punished according to the law of the land. The issue on the loot should stand, because it will serve as a lesson those thinking in that direction.”

The first step to forgiveness is confession.

This is what GEJ has done. So, Nigerians over to you.

So that Prophet that said GEJ might have been under a spell while he ruled Nigeria might be right after all. He was under a spiritual bubble and he so much loated his critics. But now he has come forward to confess. Billions were stolen instead he thought it was a Yam and Goat folklore. What a world!.

Lets also remember PMB in our prayers everyday.

God bless Nigeria

Eyah... I believe you Sir Jonathan. You are indeed a peaceful man of honor. Your soft mind opened the doors of Nigeria's treasury to the polithieves while you probably didn't know about.
Its quiet unfortunate you were surrounded by so many polithieves and very smart ones for that matter.

When asked what he was going to do about the missing $20b, he said he was not going to investigate it because the allegation was false.

If he's just realising the extent of corruption under his watch, what effort did he make to fight corruption while in office?

Imagine teaching hospitals in the country for that matter.

This isn't a confession; It is a denial.

Can you honestly believe that the former president was not aware of the looting and raping of the economy while he was in office?
Can he actually convince anyone he wasn't aware of Diezani's shenanigans?

Thing is, he was spineless. Didn't have the guts to clamp down on his appointees. His words and inactions while in office had already indicted him before now.

Stop insulting a man better than you in all ramifications. Even those who keep shining light on GEJ's anus are not perfect themselves. If you doubt me you can google Aisha Buhari and see whether her name is not listed among those who stole from the country. Even PMB wasn't perfect as PTF Chairman. Let's not crucify GEJ as if he's the worst person in Nigeria. Remember that IBB has never been questioned for once for stealing from Nigeria. Let's fight corruption without insulting the ex President. I know that Buhari is not very happy that International bodies praised GEJ for his peaceful disposition during the last Presidential election and post election but must he ridicule him like this? Tinubu, Fashola, Amechi, Atiku, Mamora are being celebrated by APC daily while they feed us with negative stories about GEJ. They all went to see Wole Soyinka in his house last week and this week he's criticising GEJ. Am I surprised? Hell NO! Enough is enough!!!

Yet some people thought he was called clueless for no reason. When we were told he was helpless against the bottle, we never imagined the effects it would have on us.

This was a President that did not know an Ambassador was withdrawn from under him till after a whole week, for a call he didn't know he had made...It took our dear Soyinka to inform him that his aides had faked his call.

Don't be fooled for a minute with this pretence, Jonathan was too distracted by his own wanton looting to begin fighting corruption, that is the truth. He knew what was happening, he just didn't think he would have to account for it; PDP was supposed to rule for 60 years remember?

How can a man who sacked Sanusi for revealing corruption, now claim he was unaware of it?

Thank God we were saved from another four years of avoidable cluelessness and gross incompetence.

How on earth is that an excuse. Just forget it the guy has failed woefully. If u can't supervise your aids then you're nt worthy of any public office. A very good riddance indeed. Can't stop thanking God for March 28 defeat of this drunkard.

To realize that this large number of people has commented and no one is yet to question the authenticity of the news really confirms that lots of nairalanders are plain dumb.

Who else attended the meeting? Even Femi Adesina admitted he didn't know what was discussed. Only a certified fool will swallow this thrash from this mumu source

Yet some group of wailers want us to continue with this reckless spending clueless drunkard as a president... I will continue saying it, when all the funds misappropriated/stolen/embezzled/"borrowed" by this past administration are recovered Nigeria will have no cause to touch any money generated for the next 4years.

I want to beg for the forgiveness of all the good Nigerian "Minority" who saw this and had to pass through at least 4 years of torture trying to point this out while a " blind and clueless" majority kept on insulting and cursing them all because they were too blind to see what Dr GEJ is now seeing himself. Please forgive the "BLIND & DEAF" of the GEJ era..
