Goodluck Jonathan’s Government Voted 2nd Most Corrupt in The World – Gallup Poll

Gallup Chairman and CEO, Jim Clifton

Goodluck Jonathan’s Government Voted 2nd Most Corrupt in The World in a recent ratings conducted by Gallup Poll.
The perception of the Federal Government before Nigerians crashed further, as they rated the nation’s leadership as the second most corrupt in the world, a Gallup poll just made public has revealed.
Gallup, in its first-ever report on “Global States of Mind: New Metrics for World Leaders,” stated that 94 per cent of Nigerians believe there is widespread corruption in government.
The poll also showed that in the world, only Kenyans believed their government was more corrupt. The poll also revealed that about 96 per cent of Kenyans had alleged that there were widespread corruption in their government, while only five per cent of Singaporeans said their government was corrupt.
Singaporeans believe their country was the least corrupt in the world. Gallup said last year’s revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt where GDP was rising, shows that world leaders need more than just GDP and other traditional economic metrics to run their countries.
Gallup Chairman and CEO, Jim Clifton, said: “Economic data are becoming less and less valuable because they tend to be outdated by the time they are made available. More significantly, GDP is less valuable because leaders now need to know much more than what people are spending-they need to know what they are thinking; GDP isn’t enough if you are watching for instability.”
