Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Jimi Agbaje has described President Goodluck Jonathan as a custodian of transparency, saying the president has been fight corruption since the beginning of his administration, contrary to the propaganda of the opposition.

Speaking at the book launch ‘Showcasing Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s Monumental Stride: A Third Party Perspective’, written by Citizens Network for Peace and Development at Airport Hotel Lagos, weekend, Agbaje affirmed that starvation has reduced in the country drastically because the present administration has encouraged farmers and thereby reduced importation of food items by 40 per cent.

According to him: “They said Jonathan is corrupt. Have they ever fought anybody for corruption in Lagos since 1999 to date? With all the allegations of embezzlement in Lagos the have not probed anyone in Lagos and they want to fight corruption in Abuja when they hope to get there?’

“Transparency International did a report recently and said the administration of President Jonathan has fought corruption the most. Don’t let them shut us down or be afraid to speak the truth. There is no programme that the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Buhari, has that Jonathan cannot double.”

“It is very funny when they use all forms of propaganda to win election by all means.”
