President Muhammadu Buhari says
Nigerians will soon be told the total amount so far recovered by the Federal
Government from treasury looters.
NAN reports that Buhari stated
this on Thursday in Benin at the All Progressives (APC) Edo Presidential Mega
Rally.
“I assure you that sooner than
later we will get the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the
Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to tell Nigerians how much we
have so far recovered from those who looted our national treasury.
“We will also tell Nigerians how
we intend to use the monies and for what purpose, “ he said.
He thanked the people of the
state for their steadfastness, adding that the APC had kept its promises on
ensuring security, fighting corruption and improving the economy.
Buhari stressed that government
was doing its best in the corruption fight in spite of challenges.
Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo while
assuring that the state would give Buhari one million votes in the forthcoming
election, said a vote for Buhari would guarantee industrialisation, electricity
supply and job creation.
He, however, said challenges
currently being faced in the state were caused by previous administration of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which he said the APC led government was trying
to fix.
Mr Adams Oshiomhole, the APC
National Chairman, expressed satisfaction with the achievements of the state
governor since his assumption of office.
“Obaseki has added value to the
administration and the lives of the people of Edo and the state is better than
I left it, I am proud of you and am happy for your achievements,“ Oshiomhole
said.
He said the state was free from
the antics of political fathers, adding that the state belonged to the APC,
stressing that manipulation of votes would not be possible in the forthcoming
election.
Oshiomhole maintained that the
election would be one man one vote in the state, adding that Atiku Abubakr, the
PDP presidential candidate is not fit to replace Buhari.
He stressed that Atiku’s plans to
privatise the NNPC and other public institutions were ill conceived, saying
that Nigerians should not be allow that to happen.
He said under Buhari’s
administration, the country was moving towards food security following the
revolution in the agriculture sector, adding that jobs were also being created
to absorb the unemployed.
Oshiomhole maintained that Buhari
had showed good leadership, and is committed to the development of the state,
adding that APC next level agenda should be supported by all in the interest of
the nation.
The News Agency of Nigerian (NAN)
reports that some members of the opposition PDP who recently defected to the
APC were formally received at the rally.
