The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to speak out on the plethora of corruption allegations and
charges against his former aides and some of his family members following the anti-corruption war embarked upon by his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking through its Executive Chairman, Mr. Debo Adeniran following the former President’s visit to incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday
at the Presidential villa, the Coalition averred that if the interest of the country was much more important to the former President than whichever interests
that he probably intends to protect by his silence, the logical thing is to speak out.
Adeniran asked, “we wonder how helpful the position of the former President is to the efforts to rid Nigeria of corruption? Or is his position perhaps
based on possible culpability in some of the exposed corruption cases? As a Statesman, a former President and a Nigerian, it should be expected of him
to stand clearly without equivocation on the side of the drive against corruption which has been one of the major banes that have stunted the country’s
growth and development.”
