The Presidency through its spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu has blamed Nigerians for the country’s poor ranking on the 2020 Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International.
The latest report showed that Nigeria scored 25 out of 100, named the second most corrupt nation in West Africa and ranked 149 out of 180 countries.
Shehu who was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday, said the report is a reflection of corruption by Nigerians and not by the Buhari administration.
“I’ll tell you that this one by TI is not a judgment on Buhari or his administration or its war against corruption, I will tell you that this one is a judgment on Nigerians because if you look at the indices they used at arriving at these conclusions, they used eight indices, six of which showed Nigeria as being more or less Nigeria in the same position.
