President Goodluck Jonathan says his administration will adopt improved technology to fight corruption in the country.
The president made the statement in Enugu on Friday at the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential campaign rally.
According to him, the best way to fight corruption is through improved technology and not by jailing people for 300 years.
“With technology, you can track down criminals. I am not going to run Nigeria on my heartbeat but according to international best practices. I will continue to run this country based on the rule of law,’’ the president said.
Jonathan said his administration had done a lot to transform the country, including security and infrastructure.
He said the Federal Government was working hard to improve the working conditions of the armed forces, including the provision of hardware and other equipment.
The president said Enugu State had also benefitted from the transformation agenda of his administration.
“We have built and rehabilitated more than 200 kilometres of roads in Enugu State. The state has also benefitted from the improved agricultural programmes as well as the automobile policy.
“Automobile companies like Innoson Motors and ANAMMCO are beneficiaries of the automobile policy of this administration,’’ he said.
On the ongoing terminal project at the Enugu International Airport, the president said he had directed the contractor handling the project to expedite action on it in order to boost the economy of the South-East.
He urged the youth of voting age to endeavour to get their Permanent Voter Cards and choose leaders of their choice.
Jonathan, however, lauded Governor Sullivan Chime and the people of the state for their unalloyed support for the PDP and promised to do more for them.
In his contribution, Vice President Namadi Sambo urged the people to vote for Jonathan and the PDP in February to ensure continuation of the transformation of the country.
The National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, and the Director General of the Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr Ahmadu Ali, commended the people of the state for their “unprecedented” support for the president and the party.

I believe Nigerians are not FOOL
Nigerians are very lucky to have this unreliable president to declare that he will use improved technology to steal and corrupt ,Jona U're now advanced than autocratic and trick methods as most richest and corrupt president .what else do you want Nebuchadnezzar?
ReplyDeleteNigerians shine your eyes. I remember in Buharis regime, there was stable power supply, detterent to corruption and good security, amongst others just in his 2 yrs. But what do we have in GEJ 6 years????? You can conclude for yourself
ReplyDeleteMaster story teller.how come he suddenly realized there is corruption, thought it was stealing. Say no to GEJ.
ReplyDeleteSo buhari he messiah now,I were you the best option is to pray not jubilet that messiah has come.pastors now are short of word of God they preaching mr president and pdp.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between this man and his wife patience? These are part of the evidence that ur Phd was bought.
ReplyDeleteThis man called GEJ must have been a yahoo boyz in his school days, what does he mean by improved technology and where is he going to import those technologies from? He has ran out off ideas. What do they call us(Nigerians) or take us for? He has not even jailed one corrupted person, yet he is talking of IT(improved technology).
ReplyDeleteMy president PHD is questionable,how can a phd holder will be making all these blunder by telling us that stealing and looting our money is not corruption or is he under a SPELL?.
ReplyDeleteTime up uncle. Don't tell us more nonsense. Its no longer cool to tell tales by moon light. Where do u hope to get dis your technology if I may ask.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, modern technology if not properly managed may tend to enhance corruption to the highest order. Would Nigerians capable of manufacturing these so called technology, if I may ask? There are other viable approaches that can be proven of success than the so called modern technology. A corrupt mind can never be changed to modern outfit.
ReplyDeleteSome of you who talk so well of Buhari's regime in 1983 were either not yet born then,or still infants at that time or better still know entirely nothing about real democracy and government. Buhari's qualifications and exposure all through his lifetime are all military,therefore cannot fit in properly into any political or rather Democratic dispensation. He may excel in other areas of life,but the expectations of the people maybe disenfranchised if he finally gets into power.......let's watch!
ReplyDeleteYou are so myopic and has no memory, what was Obasanjo's initial exposure and qualification? Were you also absent during his democratic rule?
