A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ebenezer Babatope, has declared that former President, Goodluck Jonathan was not a corrupt leader, and as such, he’s not going to be found guilty if probed.
Babatope, a Former Minister of Transport and member of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees, stated that probes can be distracting to any administration, as it tends to have a long lifespan.
The PDP chieftan stated this in a recent interview with Punch Newspapers.
“I am very convinced that no amount of probes on Jonathan will establish that Jonathan was a corrupt leader.
“He was not a corrupt leader. That is why I am proposing fairness and justice in this probe. Jonathan is not going to be found guilty of anything; I am telling you the fact. And if he (Buhari) says he wants to extend his probe to other regimes, it will be ridiculous.
“That was why Awolowo said any nation that goes deep into the ‘probe-probe business;’ that nation is jeopardising the future of its citizens because it can never get to an end.
That was why Awolowo said he would erect a thick wall between the events of the past and of the present. All we need to do is to strengthen the Police. That is all.”
