| Pres. Goodluck Jonathan |
President Jonathan has advised the incoming President, Muhammadu Buhari, not to single out his administration for probe as any attempt to do so would amount to witch hunting. Jonathan made the statement on Wednesday at the last Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting to be presided over by him.The president alleged that the errors of previous administrations were heaped on his administration and that his government operated under the harshest of conditions, some of which were politically motivated. He further claimed that there are many things to be probed, saying "Some people are even calling for the probe of the government, but I think in Nigeria, there are a lot of many things that will be probed, very many things, even debts owed by states and debts owed by this country from 1960 up to this time.
"They say it is Jonathan’s administration that is owing these debts. I believe that anybody that is calling for probe must also ensure that this probe is extended beyond the Jonathan administration.
"Otherwise, to me, it will be witch-hunt. If we are very sincere, it is not only the Jonathan administration that should be probed."
