Corrupt Government Worse Than Armed Robbery - Buhari by Dammytrager(op): 10:36am On Mar 19, 2015
The presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.), has said that a currupt
government is worse than armed robbery.
“I believe that a bad and corrupt government is
a much danger to national security as armed
robbers, kidnappers and terrorists. I want to
commend our armed forces for their recent
successes over the Boko Haram.” Buhari said.
He spoke at an APC’s Town Hall meeting on
security, held at the Barcelona Hotel, Abuja, on
Wednesday.

He explained that by his training and
experience, the concept of security must be
holistic.

According to him, it goes beyond having the
best Police Force and the military; it involves
sound economic management which includes
zero tolerance for corruption as well as
leadership by example.

The ex-military ruler stressed that the safety
and welfare of all citizens which he said was
the primary purpose of government anywhere in
the world, could be better pursued and achieved
when the right government is in place.

Buhari said, “The total security concept reflects
directly on improving the quality of the lives of
our people and rebuilding the economy.

“Even if we have the best police, we will not be
able to guarantee total security as long as 53
per cent of our youths remain unemployed and
70 per cent of our people are living below the
poverty line.

“These are all the issues that my party and
myself are committed to. It is along this line
that we have promised a regretting plan for the
North East of Nigeria. It is based on ensuring
that never again will our country experience the
type of human tragedy currently going on in that
part of the country.”

He explained that during his short stint as
military head of state, he increased Nigeria’s
refineries from one with a capacity to refine
50,000 barrel per day to four with refining
capacity of 450,000 barrel per day without
borrowing a single kobo from anywhere.

The APC presidential candidate also explained
how he resisted foreign and domestic pressures
to devalue the Naira and remove subsidy on
petroleum products in December 1983.
He challenged anybody who had contrary
information about this to come out and tell
Nigerians.
