Everybody has an opinion
about why former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration failed.
The
former registrar of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ayorinde Ogunruku, said
corruption reached its peak during Jonathan’s tenure because of his careless
attitude towards corruption and because he took things for granted.
Ogunruku, who spoke at the
51st Annual General Meeting of the Young Men Christian Association on Saturday,
maintained that Jonathan’s approach to the fight against corruption was
careless.
“Quite unfortunately, the
Jonathan government seemed to have been worse than others preceding it. Not
only did corruption reach its peak considering the number of high profile
cases, there was a seeming acquiescence by the then (Jonathan) government.
“The body language of the
former president was that which seemed to tolerate the nefarious cankerworm.
The matters involving certain officials of his government in the petroleum and
aviation ministries left many disgusted,” Ogunruku said.
Punch reported that he suggested an ethical
revolution that would change the general attitude of the people to a
conscience-driven habit as a way to curb corruption in the country.
