Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, yesterday, took up issues with the Presidency for calling the former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, boss, Nuhu Ribadu, an ingrate and a hypocrite, following his claim that Nigerian under Jonathan was a sinking ship.
.
Mohammed, who spoke in an exclusive interview with Vanguard, noted with dismay the disposition of the Presidency to pour invectives on Nigerians who dared the administration.
.
The politician said rather than vilify Ribadu for pointing out its shortcomings, the Presidency should be grateful to him for easing Diepreye Alamieyeseigha from office in 2005 and paving the way for Jonathan as acting governor, who eventually became governor and Vice President of Nigeria.
.
Mohammed, who expressed disappointment with the way the Presidency was desperately trying to distort history, stated that there would have been no Jonathan's Presidency without the risk taken by Ribadu to ease out Alamieyeseigha using the EFCC as a platform.
