“Our commitment to the fight against corruption is second to that of America’s commitment. We are very commitment to it and everybody knows,” said Jonathan.
Worshippers at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on Sunday, according to an online media, mocked and laughed at President Goodluck Jonathan when he described his government as second only to the United States of America in its commitment to fighting corruption.
The President was speaking during the church service, during which several of his ministers, advisers, political apologists, and former Heads of State Yakubu Gowon and Olusegun Obasanjo were in attendance.
As soon as he said this, members of the congregation looked at him incredulously and began to chuckle and laugh, as if they had just heard the punch line to a new joke.
But his appointees and friends tried to save the moment by clapping. It was unclear whether they were clapping for the joke, or in cheers, but a senior member of the government who spoke anonymously with our correspondent after the service, said Jonathan was merely deceiving himself.
“Who does not know that this government is weak when it comes to fighting corruption? I think Jonathan is deceiving himself and not Nigerians,” he said smiling.
Since President Jonathan himself had, last Monday at a function in Abuja, said his government is NOW READY to fight corruption with everything at his disposal, how come the same man is also saying his government is NOW WINNING the fight against corruption.
“If Mr. Jonathan is going to ‘fight corruption and associated social vices until they are exterminated’,” a newspaper columnist said, “he is going to have a very large battlefield, and also a lot of opportunities for Nigerians to laugh at a bad joke.”
