Corruption Allegation: Jonathan Says He Is under Investigation

The immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday made public that, he is being investigated for corruption by the Federal Government (FG), led by president Muhammadu Buhari.Speaking in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg TV, in London, Jonathan said, “I cannot say the country from the beginning of our independence, that there was no corruption, yes there has been corruption. “I did very well also, to curtail corruption. My approach to corruption was: don’t make money available for anyone to touch. “We made sure that the area of fertiliser subsidies was cleaned up, and the whole corruption there was removed. I tried to do the same in the oil industry, but the very people that were accusing us of corruption were the same people frustrating it, it’s unfortunate. “Obviously, I’m being investigated. I wouldn’t want to make certain comments because, when a government is working, it’s not proper for immediate past presidents to make certain statements. “I will allow the government to do the work it’s supposed to do. I wouldn’t want to make serious comments on that, it’s not proper. “After all these investigations, the whole stories will be properly chronicled. I’ve just left office, and I should allow the President and his team to do what they believe is good for the country.”
