President’s supporters to Jonathan: your govt most corrupt

FORMER President Goodluck Jonathan again came under attack yesterday from President Muhammadu Buhari’s supporters over his comment that the All Progressives Congress (APC) came to power based on lies and propaganda.

One of the President’s support groups, the Buhari Media Support Group (BMSG), reminded Jonathan that he ran the most corrupt government in the country’s history and has nothing concrete except monumental looting of public resources to show for his six years’ rule.

A statement signed by BMSG Chairman, Austin Braimoh, and Secretary, Chief Cassidy Madueke in Abuja, said it was unbecoming for the former President to paint the Buhari in bad light when Nigerians overwhelmingly rejected his government during the 2015 elections for alleged incompetence and running a government without a clear cut direction.

The statement reads in part: “To us, it was uncharitable for the former President to refer to APC as running a government of “lies and propaganda”, while at the same time attempting to impress Nigerians that he ran a faultless government with time-tested achievements.

“It is unbecoming of former President Jonathan to speak of President Buhari’s government in bad light, even when majority of Nigerians home and abroad believed he ran the worst and most corrupt government ever.

“We submit that the former President should always remember that Nigerians rejected him overwhelmingly during the 2015 Presidential election on the alleged incompetent and directionless government he ran, all through, a reason he should avoid being brazenly judgmental.”
