Jonathan’s Administration, the Most Corrupt In Nigeria’s History ––Dino Melaye


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.

“For the first time in the history of this country, corruption has graduated from the stealing of millions, billions and today into trillions,” he said

Dino added that“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.”

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).

The unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic is changing the face of human society and its systems, from healthcare to education, consumption patterns, the world of work, value systems, political regimes and legal systems. The condition was first reported in Nigeria in February 2020, and within a few weeks of its onset, we had entered the community transmission phase. Today, there are more than 16,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 35 States and the FCT, and over 400 deaths and counting. How Nigeria recovers from the effects of the infection will depend on the innovations we are willing to introduce and the reforms we are committed to implementing in the various sectors of our society.

Why We Must Implement Diaspora Voting System By Hon. Alex Obi-Osuala

Image
Diaspora votes must count in Nigeria. This is my position/opinion. If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
