When asked to clarify his statement “Stealing is not corruption”
during the presidential media chat yesterday evening, president
Jonathan said he made the statement quoting the former Chief
Justice of Nigeria, Dahiru Mustafa, who explained to him that his
analysis of corruption cases in Nigeria showed that most of the
cases tagged as corruption were theft. President Jonathan said that
referring to stealing as corruption minimizes the crime. “Ole (thief in
Yoruba) should be called Ole and given that treatment. Let us
communicate properly. The word corruption, we have abused it.”
GEJ said. .
Not satisfied with President Jonathan’s response, Prof Osinbajo
took to his Facebook wall to react.
