I will jail all corrupt politicians when I am elected - Buhari

The All Progressives Congress presidential
candidate, Major-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), has assured Nigerians that all corrupt
politicians will be jailed 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 channels
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 crude
oil, saying the country would not have faced
the current economic meltdown 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 crude
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.”
