President Jonathan says if re-elected, he will tackle
corruption in Nigeria using modern technology. The President said this while
speaking at his campaign rally in Ibadan today. He said that even if he jails 5
million people for corruption, the problem will still persist but that with
modern technology, corruption would be prevented. He said his govt is currently
working on introducing the technology.
"In terms of the
number of people I have tried and jailed, maybe I would give you the statistics
in my subsequent outings. We have tried more Nigerians. More Nigerians have
been jailed within this period after passing through due process. And I used to
tell people, even if I try 10 million Nigerians and Jail 5 million Nigerians
for corruption, that does not solve the corruption problem.
So for you to solve corruption
problems, you must use modern technologies to prevent people from stealing and
that is what we are working on. The oil industry is a good area; we are working
very hard. I just don’t want to say certain things, because some of these
people have been given so much money, they would do everything to stop us. But
I promise you that if you vote me and I come back to serve this country for the
next four years, the day I would leave here, the next person that would come as
the president of this country, people would not talk about corruption, because
we are working on technologies and we would use technologies to block all these
areas. Today we are talking about IT; we are no longer in the analog
generation, so we must deploy IT to solve our human problems and I am promising
that in the next four years, the next president, nobody would harass that
president for not fighting corruption because I will solve the problem of
corruption in this country"
Meanwhile,
he promised to create 2 million jobs yearly if re-elected saying he will
generated the job for unemployed youths in Nigeria
