Corruption Ranking Is About Nigerians, Not The Govt – Femi Adesina
Femi Adesina, Spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, has said the corruption ranking of the country is about Nigerians and not the government.
He said Nigerians share in the blame of the country’s bad ranking in Transparency International’s (TI) corruption perception index (CPI).
In 2017, Nigeria dropped from 136 in 2016 to 148 on the index of TI.
Speaking during a Channels Television’s programme on Monday, Femi Adesina said the ranking is about Nigerians and not the federal government. He said;
“My position is that that ranking is not strictly about government, it is about Nigeria and her people. Some people want to make it seem as if it is a vote of no confidence in government or a lower mark for government, I don’t agree,”
“I think it is a lower mark for the people, because the people constitute the country. And I think if things do not seem to have worked as they should work, the people also have part of the brunt; they have part of the blame to bear.”
He also chided TI for the ranking, saying the country does not need it to verify whatever effort the current administration is making in anti-graft war. He added;
“As much as I respect Transparency International, I don’t think we necessarily need them to authenticate what is going on in the country because we Nigerians know that there is a war against corruption ongoing and that war is succeeding. There are strides being taken. We may not be there yet but we are on our way there,” he said.
“So, let no agency from any part of the world come to think that whatever it says is the gospel to us. It can help, it can inform what is happening but it s not something that will be a milestone round the neck of government.”

Open later to “Shameless Nigerian youths.
The Recent happening in Nigeria political party primaries has shown and exposed the decay in Nigeria politics….
NO wonder Nigeria will never get better, this means that if you are still praying for Nigeria to get better then you are the BIGGER fool.
First I must start by saying, take the massage and don’t try to look at the choice of words because I’m being as polite as possible, just take the massage simple.
I’m sorry for the so call Nigerian youths, they have all turn to little puppies, Shameless and useless to be honest.
I have waited patiently waiting for them to rise UP and protest against this Bad Nigerian government but they refused, playing tribal politics thinking in any way Nigeria will be great again, there’s no future for average Nigeria youth, no future NO hope, I can see the Yorubas are busy swallowing any Candidates impose on thEm by PDP and APC politicians, using their heads to drink Monkeytail.
They have all lost their Voices because Buhari is in charge, today university school fee is =N=350000 and Student Unions are nowhere to be found, NANs and SUG. where una dey? I remember how all the Unions in Nigeria showed Jonathan pepper when he fucked up but today where are they?
Where as we have Unions like°°°°°°
* Trade unions
*Teacher’s Union
*Doctors Union
*Academic Union of University Lectures
*Labour Union
*Student Union Government
*Civil Societies and so on, They are now deaf and dumb, that was why Buhari call thEm Shameless and useless Nigerian youths
Like fools they are they only laugh it out, shouting they will not vote for Buhari come 2019,
Who said you can vote Buhari out of #Asshole_ROCK 2019?
Do you think APC is interested in your vote?
When we say what happened in Nigeria recent governorship election will be a child play compare to 2019 election, you think we just want to scare you… useless Nigerian youths, you can’t vote buhari out of power he will go to war instead of leaving power, the cabal will not want to loss there grip on power not to talk of now that they have young New and healthy Buhari that still has more than 45years on his lifr.
MeanWhile Shameless Nigerian youths are waiting for next year’s election to vote out the cabal
Buhari is busy imposing Governors on Yoruba people while they Smile in Agony and useless Nigerian youths are waiting 2019election to still Vote ,,,,,,,, jajajajajajajajajajajajaja laughing in Jamica,
Does he look like someone that Will be handing over power next year, who told you that your vote counts?
NO body can vote buhari out of Asshole Rock…
It time Nigerian youths wakes up and challenge this old men, don’t let them use your heads in the name of Vote,
All the youths in Nigeria must come together and speak with one voice and say #no_ELECTION in Nigeria and you will see Nigerian government and politicians will Tremble.
Your VOTE don’t count in Nigeria.
Your VOTE is your PAIN.
Voters are Liable to die young in Nigeria.
No more Election.
Nigeria Unity must be discussed.
Stop being a shameless Nigeria youth and
Fight For your future.
Just take the massage before you crucify the Messenger. #itemNO7
