Festus Keyamo Attacks president Goodluck Jonathan

Celebrity lawyer, Festus Keyamo has condemned the president's pardon of convicted Ex-Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreiye Alamieyeseigha and other convicted ex government officials.

The lawyer expressed his intense disgust in this press statement released by his Chambers,

''It is shocking, confusing and disheartening that at a time when the general mood of the country indicates that the war against corruption is insincere, slow and a sham, the President deems it fit to even rubbish the very little work that has been done by the anti-corruption agencies in securing the conviction of these individuals,” he said.

It is also disturbing that at a time when Nigeria is still ranking very low in the Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International the President has further damaged the image of the country by this singular act.''

This pardon teaches no bitter lesson to thieving and corrupt public officers, but encourages corruption at the highest and the lowest levels of public office and the decision itself is corruption per excellence
