Probe every administration if you must - Jonathan

 

President Jonathan yesterday said that the incoming administration should probe past administration also if they intend to commence probing,, that probing his administration alone will be seen as witch hunting.
He made this statement during a valedictory session of the Federal Executive Council,ahead of Friday's handover,that there are calls from all quarters for his administration to be investigated, despite the difficult condition under which he ruled.


“Some people are calling for the probe of this government and I agree. In Nigeria, there are a lot of things that will be probed. They ever said all the debts owed by states and this nation from 1960 up to this time are owed by the Jonathan administration. 

“I believe that anybody calling for probe must also ensure that these probes are extended beyond the Jonathan administration, otherwise, to me, it will be a witch-hunt. If you are very sincere you will agree that it is not just Jonathan’s administration that should be probed.

“A number of things have gone wrong and we have done our best to fix them. The Attorney-General is aware of massive judgment debts; if we aggregate all of them it is almost $1 billion. But how did we come to this kind of huge judgment debts? These issues should be probed. Do we follow our laws when we allocate our oil wells, oil fields, and marginal wells? All these should be probed and I believe all these and many more areas should be looked at,” he said.
