President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to crack down on anyone including
members of the ruling All progressive Congress, APC, found to be corrupt.
Answering questions in an interview with Christine Amanpour of CNN,
President Buhari vowed that no one will escape justice as far as punishing
those who are found corrupt is concerned.
“I just have to. There is not going to be any party member or personality
that will escape justice,” President Buhari said while answering question
on whether the crack down on corruption include APC members.
On the specific request from the U.S to fight Boko Haram, President Buhari
said he had relied on the promise from the G7 and had requested for help
in Training, equipping the Army and intelligence gathering.
He said Nigerians are more concerned about security so they can go back to
normal live. He said nothing will work until the security is guaranteed
and that is what his Government is working towards.
President Buhari assured that the issue of human rights abuse by the
military would be looked into.
On the Boko Haram abduction of the chibok girls, President Buhari said his
government is being careful about the credibility of those claiming to be
leaders of Boko Haram so as not to be negotiating with the wrong people.
He assured that his government takes the safe return of the Chibok girls
in high priority.
He said it is too early for anyone to pass judgement on his government two
months after it came into power.
President Buhari said he is going to send a formal invitation to president
Barack Obama to visit Nigeria.
