President Goodluck Jonathan aiding and abetting Corruption in Nigeria - Aminu Tambuwal

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, yesterday launched a scathing attack against President Goodluck Jonathan accusing him of insincerity in his administration’s fight against corruption. Tambuwal, who advanced reasons for blaming the President for the growing spate of corruption in the country, wondered why the Presidency would be setting up committees to investigate cases of corruption.

He said that the Executive had no business investigating cases of corruption. The Speaker said what was expected of the executive was to refer “these matters to the EFCC and I trust the EFCC, they will do a good job.

“I tell you, let the Executive have the will for referring these matters from the office of Mr. President to EFCC and you will see what will happen. But if the body language is not correct, this is what you get,” he said.

Poplular Quotes by NELSON MANDELA

 

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”

― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
