GEJ: If you vote for me, I will fight corruption using technology

President Jonathan says if re-elected, he will tackle corruption in
Nigeria using modern technology. The Presidentsaid this while speaking
at his campaign rally in Ibadan today.

He said that even if he jails 5 million people for corruption, the
problem will still persist but that with modern technology, corruption
would be prevented. He said his govt is currently working on
introducing the technology"In terms of the number of people I have
tried and jailed, maybe I would give you the statistics in my
subsequent outings. We have tried more Nigerians. More Nigerians have
been jailed within this period after passing through due process.

And I used to tell people, even if I try 10 million Nigerians and
Jail 5 million Nigerians for corruption, that does not solve the
corruption problem.So for you to solve corruption problems, you must
use modern technologies to prevent people from stealing and that is
what we are working on. The oil industry is a good area; we are
working very hard. I just don't want to say certain things, because
some of these people have been given so much money, they would do
everything to stop us.

But I promise you that if you vote me and I come back to serve this
country for the next four years, the day I would leave here, the next
person that would come as the presidentof this country, people would
not talk about corruption, because we are working on technologies and
we would use technologies to block all these areas. Today we are
talking about IT; we are no longer in the analog generation, so we
must deploy IT to solve our human problems and I am promising that in
the next four years, the next president, nobody would harass that
president for not fighting corruptionbecause I will solve the problem
of corruption in this country

"Meanwhile, he promised to create 2 million jobs yearly if re-elected
saying he will generated the job for unemployed youths in Nigeria
