The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), on Tuesday said any public officials, who betrayed the trust of Nigerians and illegally enrich himself under his administration, would be made to face the full wrath of the law.
He promised Nigerians that there would be no hiding place for corrupt elected officials, including governors, and all other government officials in his administration.
Buhari gave the assurance at his Presidential rally, held at the Pantami International Stadium, Gombe.
He said, “We must do away with corruption as well as develop the Nigerian economy if we are elected into office by the grace of God. Any official that is elected or appointed to serve under me, must be transparent because if any of them embezzles public funds, he will face the consequences.”
The presidential hopeful also promised to boost electricity supply in all parts of the country, and revive moribund industries in order to address unemployment.
“Our youths are suffering and walking around the streets without employment but we will strive to make them gainfully employed, so as to disengage them from vices that can destroy their future,” Buhari stated.
The APC Presidential candidate said he would also look into ways of collaborating with advanced countries to revamp the agriculture sector.
He said schools would also be given a facelift and qualified teachers would be recruited.
Also speaking at the rally, the National Chairman of the party, John Oyegun, called on the Nigerian public to vote massively for the APC in the forthcoming election, to guarantee progress and development.
He urged all party faithful to obtain their permanent voter card so as to have an opportunity to elect candidates of their choice.
The party’s leader in Gombe State, Senator Danjuma Goje, described Buhari as the “architect” of change.
He urged all supporters of the party to vote out the Peoples Democratic Party by turning out enmass on election days and also defend their votes by ensuring that the votes were counted in their presence.
