The Nigerian president, Muhammadu

looters would be made to face the full wrath of the law.
He argued that his administration

promised better life ahead for Nigerians.
Buhari made the statement in
Osogbo, the Osun State capital, at a presidential rally organised by his party,
the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“I really appreciate those who
for several hours lined up in the sun to welcome me. I want to remind you of how
we met this country and what we have achieved in the last 3 years.
“We have cleared Boko Haram from
its dominance in 17 local governments of Borno and Yobe, which made them to
resort to attacking soft target like young girls, women, market places and places
of worship .
“On corruption, we are doing our
best to ensure that whoever found guilty of misappropriating public funds would
be made to face the full wrath of law,” he said.
The Governor of the state,
Gboyega Oyetola, in his speech, lauded Buhari for what he termed appreciable
intervention in the state by the Federal Government.
“The president has done so much
for our state in terms of infrastructural development, youth and women
empowerment. The only way we can ensure the continuity of that gesture is to
support the party and return Mr President to the Villa.
“APC is the party for the future,
we must not allow those who have looted the treasury in the past to come back”.
The National leader of the party,

deceiving Nigerian people for 16 years, and depriving them of basic necessities
of life.
” PDP lied to Nigerians for 16
years, they looted and made it impossible for youths to secure employment.
“We fought for 15 years to get
the mandate of Abiola, until when Buhari addressed the injustice and recognised
Abiola presidential status, which make him to deserve our votes in the South
West”, Tinubu said.
