1. I eat Chicken not Turkey – Jonathan

2. I didn’t say stealing is good, I only said stealing isn’t corruption.

3. Those quoting me as saying that ‘stealing is not corruption’ have not said that the President said stealing is good. Thieves should be treated as thieves. Do not use the word ‘corruption’ to cover so many things.

4. Now that we are working with Chad, I believe that in the next few weeks the story of the Chibok girls will get better.

5. I am not God, but I am more hopeful now than before in terms of combing the whole areas.

25. We must not put money where people can take it, like we did with in agriculture with fertiliser.
