Transparency International's corruption perception index cannot be taken seriously because it is not 'fact-based', a presidential spokesperson has said.

Transparency International’s corruption perception indexGarba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesperson, was referring to the latest corruption index report that showed Nigeria scoring lower than it did in 2018, and emerging the world’s 34th most corrupt nation.

Nigeria’s latest placement by the anti-corruption watchdog has triggered debates about the success of the Buhari administration’s well-publicised fight against corruption. Both the EFCC and the ICPC have condemned the report.on Thursday described the report as “baseless and appalling”, while the ICPC said the reality on the ground was different from the perception concluded by Transparency International.inaccurate because it was based on secondary sources.

According to him, “The report is harsh on the government. It does not take due cognisance of the ground reality.” “So it is not fact-based but based on second-rate data – information collected here and there. In effect, anybody could put together this kind of report from press releases issued by opposition political parties.

Wisdom comes when people begin to accept faults and make amends. After all this government don't even have true data or statistics of her country to even show transparency International is wrong.

Presidency does not speak the minds of Nigerians. Nigerians accept their finding wholeheartedly.

I'm 100% with Transparency international index report. There is no any sign of improvement in our basic sectors such as Health, Education, Economy and even politically we lacked free and fair Elections.

Lol 😂😂 🤣🤣 🤣. Any report which is not favorable is a trash for them not knowing that one cannot improve without unbiased checkmate.

You guys are deceiving yourself. To you, everything is politics. I just pray Corona virus does not enter this country. The same govt that stops NBS from releasing unemployment statistics because of politics?

Transparency International is right. When was the last time the financial statements of all MDA's, Govts etc was published publicly. External auditors should audit our spendings including d CBN.

The TI report may not be 100% correct. However, we seek for their assessment parameters and make corrections and improve on our efforts in been transparent in our dealings as a government and nation. You cannot rate yourself.

Until we learn to accept something that is so glaring as truth and work towards making it right, nothing can ever work. Nigeria is a failed country, starting from the corrupt president to his lying serving security chiefs down to uneducated CJN and party Chairman

Denying facts? Dont worry, you will soon dismissed yourself (government)

Primitive minds lecturing a civilized people.

It is normal to dismiss it because they thought everyone can be fooled
