Senior Special Assistant to
President Mohammed Buhari on Prosecutions, Okoi Obono-Obla, says former
President Goodluck Jonathan is not an honest man.
Jonathan while speaking during
the PDP non-elective convention on Saturday said, “Despite the devastating
effects of this natural disaster, there were no food shortages or arbitrary
increase in prices, because of what we were able to accomplish with our
agriculture transformation agenda, which considerably boosted food production.”
Speaking with newsmen during the
weekend, Obono-Obla said Jonathan’s comment was a clear indication that he is
economical with the truth, saying that he ran a voodoo economy.
Obono-Obla said, “Only a very
honest man will say his mother’s soup pot is not good and Jonathan is not a
very honest man, with due respect to him. If he were honest, how can he say
that food prices stayed low? It is not true. It is not true that the Nigerian
economy was very sound.
“He ran a voodoo economy, full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing. There was massive unemployment, massive
inflation; there was shortage of petroleum products, there was oil subsidy
which led to trillions of naira subsidy fraud.
“So, how can he say that the
economy was sound, that it was well managed? The bumbling incompetence of his
government is what has manifested in what we saw when we went into a recession
shortly after we took over when we met an empty treasury.
“If he said his government didn’t
block loopholes of corruption, that is an admission that his government was
chronically scandalously corrupt and which is true, because we have not seen
that kind of mindless looting of government resources and money which has
manifested in his former minister looting what would amount to the budget of
the entire northern states for about four years.
“He said the economy was sound
when there were a lot of leakages through which billions of dollars were
siphoned from the economy.”
