I Pray Professor Itse Sagay is Not Going Senile, Says Reno

Former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, monday reacted to the
statement credited to the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory
Committee on Anti-Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay, that if he
(Jonathan) had another three years in the office, Nigerians would
have been crossing Sahara to Libya.

In a statement by his former aide, Reno Omokri, he wondered if
Sagay is going senile, saying the “assertion flies against the
facts on the ground.”

Supporting his argument, Omokri pointed out that the “World Bank
says our economy was better under Jonathan than it is now.”

According to him, Transparency International had reported that
“corruption is worse today than under Jonathan. The Global
Hunger

Index says Nigerians are more hungry today than under
Jonathan.”
He added: “Nigeria moved from fourth most terrorised nation in the
world in 2015 to 3rd most terrorised nation in the Global Terrorism
Index for 2017.

“Furthermore, under President Muhammadu Buhari, the United
Nations reveals that there has been a massive increase in the
number of Nigerians fleeing Nigeria via the desert with 602,000
leaving annually and 27,000 dying every year either in the Sahara
Desert or the Mediterranean Sea.”

To this end, he sought to know “the parameter Sagay is using to
make his jaundiced judgment.

“Furthermore, under former President Jonathan, Nigeria was the
first nation in the world to evacuate her citizens from Libya
during the Arab Spring. Jonathan would never keep quiet if
Nigerians are being sold as slaves in Libya.

“If President Buhari can call Nigerians “criminals” to the
Telegraph of UK, why should Nigerians be surprised when he does not
act to free us from slavery in Libya?

“Professor Sagay spends too much time poking his nose into other
people’s affairs and too little focus on his own business, that is
why under his watch as chairman of the Presidential Advisory
Committee on Anti-Corruption (PACAC), Maina got recalled,
reinstated, doubly promoted and still received salary (according to
his lawyer).

“That is why the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation, Maikanti Baru, was able to award
$25 billion worth of contracts without due process.

“That is why $40 million was found in an Ikoyi apartment and
Nigerians still do not know who the money belongs to.

“That is why there has been unbridled looting around President
Buhari to the extent that the Presidential Clinic at Aso Rock does
not have ordinary Panadol despite the billions allocated to it
under President Buhari.

“My advise to Professor Sagay is that while he may be
unjustifiably pointing one finger at former President Jonathan,
four of his own fingers are justifiably pointing back to him and
his puppet master,” he added.
