The Chibok schoolgirl\u2019s abduction and his \u201csleeping behind the wheel\u201d is not a story to deny as it is already part of our national history. We may disagree on a number of issues in Nigeria, but there is a national consensus on the fact that PDP elevated corruption to national culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDenying or arguing against the truth is not going to change anything at this stage. The stories of outlandish corrupt practices under the PDP are still unraveling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is important now is Jonathan explaining to the families of the abducted schoolgirls why as president, he did nothing for two weeks after the Chibok abductions and still refuses to take responsibility for the tragedy up till now except he continues to blame the Chibok abductions and other failings of his administration on the so-called grand conspiracy against him as he laboriously tries to state in his response to Cameron.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current administration\u2019s reactions and actions after the similar and unfortunate Dapchi schoolgirls kidnapping is a pointer to how a responsive government should act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0I Have No Regrets Conceding Defeat To Buhari In 2015: Jonathan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat Jonathan government was corrupt was actually half of the story. The full story is that corruption hallmarked the successive 16 years administrations under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It is shameful that anyone is even defending it. Corruption is the PDP\u2019s political ideology. This fact is already cast in stone. Nigerians do not need Cameron or anyone else to tell us how corrupt and ineffectual the PDP era was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a consequence, Nigerians voted out the PDP administration in 2015 and elected the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration to clear the mess the 16-year PDP administration left the country. Our resolve to do just that is unshaken\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 APC Flag The All Progressives Congress APC has again accused the former President Goodluck Jonathan of presiding over the most corrupt government in Nigeria.
