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 a$$urance 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.
