    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity which comes at an extremely exciting time. This issue is on the social media as an opposition candidate wins the presidency in Nigeria. Preliminary results show that 33 states out of 36 put Muhammadu Buhari with a 14 million votes lead ahead of Jonathan Goodluck who has 11 million votes. The two issues that were used in campaigns are security and corruption. Those are the same issues that the Jubilee Government, since coming into power, has been grappling with. Like in the case of Buhari or Jonathan, time is running out. The Jubilee Government is at midstream of its term in office. First and foremost, I want to congratulate the President for fulfilling his constitutional duty and presenting before Parliament the State of the Nation Address. I do not fault him for a minute. He is probably one of the best orators of the four Presidents we have had. His delivery is always stimulating. However, I have seen many deliveries of his type which have not been backed by action. Like all other Members in the political opposition, we are skeptical that he is capable of action. As Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Orengo said, the President should deal with the corruption in his very inner circle. The Jubilee Government has continued to hit headlines since it came into power. For the past three days, the Jubilee administration has been in the headlines purportedly fighting corruption. The Report is purportedly purging corruption that they had forgotten to purge for the last two years. If the Jubilee Coalition Government had shown signs that they were willing to purge corruption from day one that they came into office, they would not have had five CSs step down. It is the most embarrassing moment for any government to have five of your CSs and PSs step down on account of people who have been in office for hardly two years. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
