President Jonathan advised President Elect Buhari not to Probe Him or his administration on Resumption



On Wednesday Jonathan made known at the departing session of the Federal Executive Council which he presided over at the aso-rock, Abuja.

President Goodluck Jonathan stated that he advised the Muhammadu Buhari, not to single out his govt in any probe he may want to carry out after his inauguration on Friday.

He said while advising Buhari not to probe his administration alone, instead he should go beyond probing his government and everything in general... President Elect should extend is probe to all d administration including the oil sector, power, e.t.c

Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, former Minister of Defence over the weekend joined the growing number of persons encouraging Buhari to probe the Jonathan administration.

President Jonathan said, “Some people are even calling for the probe of this government. I agree that in Nigeria, there are a number of things that we will probe; very many things.

he also stated that “Even debts owed by states and this nation from 1960 up to this time. They are saying it is Jonathan’s administration that is owing all the debts.

“I believe that anybody calling for probe must ensure that these probes are extended beyond the Jonathan administration, otherwise to me, it will be a witch-hunt. If you are very sincere, then it is not just the 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 the massive judgement debts, if we aggregate all of them, it is about $1bn. How did we come to this kind of huge judgement debts? These issues should be probed.

“How do you allocate our oil wells, oil fields, marginal wells and others? Do we follow our laws? All these should be probed. I believe all these and many more areas should be looked at.”

Jonathan said he has done is best despite of what critics might say about his administration, he and his team had done well under a difficult situation.

The President listed some of the challenges faced by his govt to include the prolonged industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, terror attacks and the ongoing fuel scarcity.

He stated that all the rising issues, fuel in particular is to sabotage his govt.....
