The All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Maj.
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 governorship flag to Umana Umana as
its candidate in Akwa Ibom State in Uyo, said he would close all loopholes
through which money was being siphoned out of the country.
“When we come into power, anyone who steals Nigerian 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 overdependence of Nigeria on oil, saying that
the country would not have faced the economic downturn if the country had
invested in agriculture.
According to Buhari, Nigeria used to export tin and
columbite but all of a sudden, it stopped producing and exporting these
minerals with the belief that the country has oil.
On the power sector, Buhari stated that many industries had
shut down operation because of epileptic power supply. He noted that Nigerian
producers were not able to compete in the international market because of huge
cost of generating alternative power.
Buhari, who was a former military Head of State, assured
Nigerians that his government would create over three million jobs yearly to
take care of the jobless youths.
