The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Thursday described the President Goodluck Jonathan administration as the most reckless and corrupt in the nations history.

It expressed regret that apart from its corruption and reckless behaviour, the Jonathan administration had achieved an unprecedented distinction in dividing Nigerians along ethno-religious lines.

The APC campaign organisation added that the Jonathans administration had destroyed international relationships that took the country many years to build.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the APCPCO, Mallam Garba Shehu, said this at a press conference in Abuja.

He explained that since President Jonathan took over power over four years ago, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had not recorded a single high profile conviction.

This, he said, was in stark contrast to the EFCCs past record, where former governors and other senior public officials accused of defrauding the Nigerian people were tried and prosecuted.

Shehu said, Thus, we can safely say that President Jonathan has muzzled the EFCC. He has turned one of our countrys most respected and revered institutions into a toothless bulldog without even as much as a bark.

It is startling to see the dexterity with which the President sacked the former chairman of the SURE-P scheme owing to his pronouncement on the desirability of change. Meanwhile, ministers and other senior members of his government who have heavy allegations of corruption hanging on their necks still comfortably retain their positions.

Not only has he bound the EFCC from doing its job, Mr. Jonathan has also reversed some previous achievements of the commission by granting state pardon to erstwhile government officials whom it had uncovered as guilty of corruption.
