APC, Buhari relied on Transparency report when labelling Jonathan’s govt corrupt- Fayose
By Modupe Shodeinde
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, said the All Progressive Congress and President Muhammadu Buhari relied on the Transparency International report and deemed it credible when it described former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration as corrupt.
Fayose noted that since the organisation has reported that corrupion in the country has worsened, it is right to say Buhari has failed Nigerians.
In a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, the former governor said, “When the President and his APC gang labelled the PDP govt of President Jonathan as corrupt, they relied on reports by the Transparency International. Then, the organisation was right and its reports were credible.
“Transparency International has now established that under Buhari, Nigeria has become the headquarters of corruption. At this point, it’s illegal and morally unacceptable to refer to Buhari as Mr Integrity. He has equally failed in securing Nigerians. Therefore, Buhari’s integrity my foot.”
The Transparency International in its latest report, stated that Nigeria had ranked the second most corrupt country in West Africa.
The report stated that despite several interventions and efforts by state actors, corruption had worsened in the country.
The Presidency on Thursday had rejected the report and described it as inaccurate and accused the organisation of being run by individuals who dislike Buhari.
