Lawyers and civil rights activists, on
Wednesday, assessed President Goodluck Jonathan’s New Year message,
urging him to match his words with actions.
The lawyers and activists including a
legal practitioner, Mr. Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa, Mr. Bamidele Aturu and the
President of the Campaign for Democracy, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin,
dismissed Jonathan’s promise to fight corruption and increase power
supply to 18 hours per day.
Adegboruwa, in an interview with one of
our correspondents in Abuja, on Wednesday noted that the assurances of a
man depended mostly on his pedigree.
He said that in 2011, the President promised to fight corruption and stabilise power supply.
These, the lawyer said, Jonathan had not fulfilled.
Adegboruwa said that Jonathan should
start his war against corruption with the sacking of the Aviation
Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah, over the alleged N255m car scandal.
He said, “Several probe panels and
committees have been set up by this regime. Their reports have not seen
the light of the day. It is difficult now to imagine that one can do, in
one year, what one was unable to do, in three years.
