Buhari Vows To Jail Corrupt Politicians by Ayekotoo(m): 11:32pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Major-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has assured Nigerians that all corrupt politicians will end up in jail once he is elected into power. Buhari, who gave the assurance on Tuesday during the APC rally and the presentation of the party’s flag to Umana Umana as its governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State in Uyo, said he would block all loopholes through which money was being siphoned out of the country. “When we come into power, anyone who steals Nigeria’s money will end up in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons. We are going to make sure that Nigeria’s wealth belongs only to Nigerians,” he said. He decried the nation’s over-dependence on oil, saying the country would not have faced the current economic downturn if the country had invested in agriculture. According to Buhari, Nigeria used to export tin and columbite, but all of a sudden stopped producing and exporting these minerals with the hope that the country has oil. On the power sector, Buhari stated that many industries had shut down operation because of epileptic power supply, adding that Nigerian producers were unable to compete in international market because of huge cost of generating power. Buhari, a former Head of State, assured Nigerians that his government would create over three million jobs yearly to take care of the teeming youths, who are unemployed. Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the Director General, Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, said he was ashamed to read on the pages of newspapers a claim by the Peoples Democratic Party that things had continued to improve in Nigeria from 2011. He added that governors decided that the excess crude fund be shared, when the governors noticed that the account continued to deplete each passing month. Amaechi said, “I was ashamed to read on the pages of newspapers where PDP said things had improved from 2011 till now. “Oil price used to be between $120 and $145 before now. Our savings used to be between $45 and $46bn. We had over $10bn to $20bn in excess crude. The reason why the governors asked that excess crude money be shared was that after each meeting we had, if the money was $10bn, before we come back for another meeting, it would be $8bn. Who has taken the $2bn? We did not know. “When we discovered that our money was being taken away with reckless abandon without accounting, it was then we asked, ‘Oga, please share this money. You are not a bank, and if it were a bank, they would add more to the money’. “During (the late President Umaru) Yar’Adua and (a former President Olusegun) Obasanjo, oil subsidy used to be N300bn, but under our current president, it is N2.3trn and over.” http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-vows-to-jail-corrupt-politicians/ 1 Like |

In this present dispensation, corruption is rewarded and celebrated, it is even an offence for u not to be corrupt. Our dear president killed ICPC and EFCC. In the last 6 years, can anyone tell me anyone that has been investigated and prosecuted due to corruption offences? |

Yes there must be rule of law and other. The finger that err must be made to face the music. People don’t dare steal transformers and cables that belong to the public and come back to sell same to the public again. A country where an individual or group of officials will pocket pensioners claims and no serious action follow to serve as a deterrent to others. Just to mention some of the vices beclouding the nation. Judgement is at hand. What goes up must come down. Enough is enough. |
