Osinbajo About Nigeria Corruption
The vice presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), has noted that corruption is at the root of all the troubles bedeviling Nigeria.
He also drew the public attention saying it may be the cause for the escalation of Boko Haram insurgency.
Osinbajo stated this during a town hall meeting in Yola, Adamawa State on March, 10, where some stakeholders, among which are Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN clerics, APC stalwarts, some non-government organizations, pressure groups, and journalists were gathered.
He also declared the country’s corruption must be finally eradicated, as the problem of corruption has become the cancer of Nigeria.
“The high level corruption in the country today had stifled development in various sectors of the economy and also contributed to the festering insecurity across the country”.
Besides, Osinbajo criticized the dwindling economy of the country. He blamed those politicians who rather than building it ended up plundering it as well as its external reserves.
However, the vice presidential candidate ensure APC will do all the best to provide to the Nigerians a new social order.
He pledged that General Muhammadu Buhari would ensure prudence and quality service to the Nigerian populace, respect for the rule of law, and abide by the tenets of democracy.
The professor of law also frowned at the claim of the federal government which has expended N4.3 trillion on security whereas the security situation in the country has not improved.
Osinbajo, who was fielding questions from journalists at the Catholic Social Forum in Abuja, said his party would only accept the outcome of the March 28 presidential election, if the election is free, fair and credible.
He also said use of card reader machines was not electronic voting, as being claimed by some people.
Meanwhile the presidential candidate of the APC, Gen. Muhammudu Buhari, arrived Nigeria on Friday after a week out of the country. It is believed he used the time out of the country to take a rest after the hectic presidential campaign rallies.
