Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, 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 said he was saddened by 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 earned from the export of tin and columbite but all of a sudden, it stopped producing and exporting these minerals with the belief that the country has unlimited 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.

The Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the Director General, Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, said he was ashamed to read on the pages of newspapers a story credited to the Peoples Democratic Party that things had improved in Nigeria from 2011 onward.

He added that governors decided that the excess crude money be shared because of the missing cash that was involved.

Amaechi said, ?I was ashamed to read on the pages of newspapers, where the PDP said things had improved from 2011 till now.

?Oil price used to be between $120 and $145 before now. Our savings used to be between $45 and $46bn. We had over $10bn to $20bn in excess crude. The reason why the governors asked that excess crude be shared was that after each meeting we had, if the money was $10bn, before we come back for another meeting, it would be $8bn. Who has taken the $2bn? We did not know.

?When we discovered that our money was being taken away with reckless abandon without accounting, it was then we asked, ?Oga, please share this money. You are not a bank. And if it were a bank, it would add more to the money.?

Amaechi urged members of the party in the state to go to their units and educate the people. He asked the people to make sure that their votes count after voting, so that the PDP government would be voted out of power.
