JONATHAN’S AIDE DUBS BUHARI’S ANTICORRUPTION WAR A FRAUD AS NIGERIA GETS WORSE IN TRANSPARENCY INDEX

LAGOS, Nigeria – Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has described the anticorruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari a fraud following the fall of Nigeria from 136 to I46 in the Corruption Perception Index released by global corruption watchdog, Transparency International.

In a statement by Special Adviser to the former president on Social Media, Mr. Reno Omokri, the former President described as the most corrupt administration fought corruption and took Nigeria to 136 on the CPI before leaving office, only for President Muhammadu Buhari described as an anti-corruption czar has taken Nigeria on the reverse gear in CPI, putting Nigeria in 148 position out of 180 countries, 12 points backward on the CPI.

According to the CPI, Nigeria scored 28 out 100, a figure lower than the average in the Sub-Saharan region.

Omokri tweeted : “Transparency International just released its 2017 Corruption Perception Index and no surprise, Nigeria has fallen from 136 that Jonathan improved us to, to 148. We have gone 12 steps backwards. I always said that Buhari’s anti corruption war is a fraud

“The latest @anticorruption Transparency International CPI makes a mockery of the @_AfricanUnion’s gesture of making Buhari it’s anti corruption champion. The AU now appears to be supporting corruption by making a man under whom corruption has increased its anti corruption icon,” he said.
