CHRONIC LIAR GOODLUCK JONATHAN FAIL TO
APOLOGIES OVER TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS.
Ministry of Information now claims
"PRESIDENT WAS REFERRING TO ANALYSIS BY A NIGERIAN NEWSPAPER (BUSINESS
DAY) ON TI CPI OF 2011. The world should note that TRANSPARENCIE’S CPI Index
was released even before GEJ was sworn in. I called TI UK AND GERMANY OFFICE
THEY DEBUNKED GEJ'S CLAIMS.
Nigerian media Premium Times received
email message from TI stating thus
“Transparency International does not
have a recent rating or report that places Nigeria as the second most improved
country in the fight against corruption,” Transparency International in email
response to Nigerian Media Premium Times
Having been exposed by Nigerians who
verified the Presidents Independence day LIES Minister of Information Labaran
Maku who claimed last year that President Jonathan "Introduced Nigerians
to Facebook" released a lame denial bellow which exactly the argument we
have been saying that the CPI index has been available and it is dubious for
Nigeria's President to refer to it as a "recent TI statement acknowledging
Nigeria's fight against corruption. TI DID NOT ISSUE ANY SUCH STATEMENT. WILL
GEJ AND HIS ADVISERS APOLOGISE? DO NOT COUNT ON IT!
Copy of Release by Labaran Maku's
information ministry bellow signed by Reno Omokri a Personal Assistant to
President Jonathan's Special Adviser on Research and Strategy Mr Oronto Douglas
Mr. President’s statement was based on
notorious facts
: October 2nd, 2012 : featured,
Features, Press Releases
Our attention has been drawn to reports
from some opposition leaning media houses alleging that Mr. President made some
false claims about Nigeria’s standing in this year’s Transparency International
anti corruption rating.
As is the practice worldwide, we accept
the premise that whatever is published in the media and goes unchallenged is
the truth. On this issue, the media published their synopsis of the most recent
Transparency International report and BusinessDay, a well respected newspaper
with a bias for business reporting in a headline on the 12th of September 2012
with the titled ‘FG’s anti-corruption initiative impacts Nigeria’s global
perception’ said “The survey on global corruption perceptions for 2011 versus
2001 showed that the third best improvement in the world was in Nigeria, with
its score improving by 1.5 points”.
The above quoted comments were relied
upon in coming to the conclusion that Mr. President honestly came to in good
faith. To this day, Transparency International has not disputed the findings of
BusinessDay.
For a section of the opposition to now
cast aspersions on the integrity of the President when he relied on notorious
facts (anything published in the press and which remains unchallenged is a
notorious fact) is proof positive of the now obvious fact that they lack ideas
on how to move Nigeria forward and would rather snipe at efforts of the
President to move the nation forward for which any patriot would do.
In conclusion the President acted in
good faith and his statement was based on notorious facts and are evidenced by
recent breakthroughs in fighting corruption in the oil industry where subsidy
fraud suspects are already facing trial as well as in the Agricultural Sector
where decades old corrupt practices in the fertilizer distribution network have
been eradicated via the voucher system which cuts off the middle man.
Regards,
Reno
