Justice
is served when those that are found guilty of one offence or another are
brought to book. It is no longer news that President Jonathan has been alleged
to have led the most corrupt government in Nigeria since the beginning of the
fourth republic- The many corrupt cases perpetrated under his watch attest to
that. Meanwhile, none of the allegations against his regime has been thoroughly
investigated and its report made public. And as long as these allegations go
unchecked and investigated, it wouldn`t speak well about the credibility of the
nation as its quest to fight corruption that has taken over the entire system.
Firstly,
President Jonathan must be probed to clear or establish the rumours about him
and his administration. Who knows if after probing him he might be exonerated
of the allegations against him.
Secondly,
it cannot be over emphasized that probing of an administration or individual
improves the sanity of the system. As we know that power corrupts and absolute
power corrupts absolutely. If individuals or groups know that they will be
probed and thoroughly investigated and if found guilty would be made to face
the wrath of the law, they will be more cautious, less corrupt and prudent when
occupying leadership positions.
Thirdly,
we cannot shy away from the fact that, there are men that worked for the
outgoing administration that are needed to be brought to book for their
activities while in office. The Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment
exercise took the lives of over 17 Nigerians. Someone was responsible for the
loss of those innocent lives and justice must be served. The Oduahgate scandal
is another proof of the rot in his government at all levels. The Ekitigate
cannot just be left unchecked. Some people masterminded the process and must be
brought to book. Pensioners died before their time because of the pension scam.
Someone was responsible for that. It is injustice to allow him walk away just
like that.
Additionally,
Nigerians need to know, they deserve to know more, it is their right to know
and denying them of their right is an abuse. They need to know more about
$20billion NNPC scam, they need clarifications about the scam around the
kerosene subsidy, they need more information about the $9million arms deal
scam, they need further details about the N195 Billion Alhaji Maina Pension
Scam, they need to know what happened to N123billion Stephen Oronsaye scam,
also on the N10billion for flying private jets by Allison Madueke and others.
Moreover,
the height of misappropriations and frauds under the watch of President Goodluck
Jonathan cost millions of Nigerians pains and anguish and must not be forgotten
without being investigated thoroughly. It would be considered a height of
injustice if his administration is not probed accordingly.
However,
the fact is, closure must be brought to the people that suffered one form of
loss or the other as a result of the failure of President Jonathan`s regime. And
that can only be achieved when he is probed and justice is served accordingly.
That is not a form of revenge or something, like some people already put it. It
is called justice.
Meanwhile,
those advocating that the President Goodluck led administration should not be
probed are the real enemies of the people and the forces against the
actualization of a cleaner government. Most of them fed corruptly from his
administration and have skeletons in their cupboard. Consequently, as a matter
of urgency they must stop misleading the people and go bury their heads in
shame.
The
quest for justice is not a form of distraction. It’s a bold step to building a
cleaner government. Probing President Jonathan is not a distraction. It can
never be a distraction. It is called justice.
Probing
him will not distort General Buhari`s performance, neither will it slow down
his achievements. Rather, it will help him to know the level of damages that
have been done to the system and will help him to take corrective and
preventive measures to avoid subsequent occurrence.
One
of the reasons why the President- elect, General Buhari was elected is to bring
closure to the people through delivery of justice and fight against corruption.
This must start by probing his predecessor and his administration. It is the
first step to justice and closure for the people.
We
cannot continue to shield corrupt persons from facing the wrath of the law
because he/she is rich and hurriedly bring the poor to book for insignificant
offences.
President
Jonathan must be probed; it is the right thing to do.
God
Bless Nigeria
