Muhammadu Buhari ,\u00a0shocked\u00a0all when he said\u00a0 that all corrupt politicians will end up in jail once he is elected into power.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Buhari,\u00a0made the remark \u00a0during the APC rally and the presentation of the party\u2019s flag to Umana Umana as its governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State in Uyo<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhen we come into power, anyone who steals Nigeria\u2019s money will end up in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons. We are going to make sure that Nigeria\u2019s wealth belongs only to Nigerians,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The remark by a Presidential \u00a0candidate astounded many including party faithful considering the fact that he would not operate with Decrees as he did when he was a military despot.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The remark also ignored the fact that in a democracy, no president can with fiat direct the incarceration of thieving officials.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He decried the nation\u2019s over-dependence on oil, saying the country would not have faced the current economic downturn if the country had invested in agriculture.<\/div>\n<p>According to Buhari, Nigeria used to export tin and columbite, but all of a sudden stopped producing and exporting these minerals with the hope that the country has oil.<\/p>\n<p>On the power sector, Buhari stated that many industries had shut down operation because of epileptic power supply, adding that Nigerian producers were unable to compete in international market because of huge cost of generating power.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari, a former Head of State, assured Nigerians that his government would create over three million jobs yearly to take care of the teeming youths, who are unemployed.<\/p>\n<p>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 claim by the Peoples Democratic Party that things had continued to improve in Nigeria from 2011.<\/p>\n<p>He added that governors decided that the excess crude fund be shared, when the governors noticed that the account continued to deplete each passing month.<\/p>\n<p>Amaechi said, \u201cI was ashamed to read on the pages of newspapers where PDP said things had improved from 2011 till now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOil 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 money 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we discovered that our money was being taken away with reckless abandon without accounting, it was then we asked, \u2018Oga, please share this money. You are not a bank, and if it were a bank, they would add more to the money\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring (the late President Umaru) Yar\u2019Adua and (a former President Olusegun) Obasanjo, oil subsidy used to be N300bn, but under our current president, it is N2.3trn and over.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"message\" class=\"statusbar\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Major-Gen.
