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
