You Can Not Steal In My Government And Go Free – Buhari

Buhari 1 (34)
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to make judicious use of the nation’s resources, declaring that he will neither embezzle nor allow any politician to embezzle the country’s resources.

Buhari, who made the statement during a town hall meeting in Yola, said he would give priority attention to the fight against corruption, insecurity and enhancing educational development, noting that most of the social ills bedevilling the country could be traced to dearth of education.
He decried the high level of corruption in the country which he blamed for the years of decay that led to massive unemployment, and asserted that, to address the situation, he would invest massively in agriculture and exploit the mineral resources sector in order to create employment.

Buhari noted that for Nigeria to get out of the woods, the people must persevere in nation building, adding that in the face of the massive decay in the system, tackling Nigeria’s problems would be a daunting task.
He also stated that the country was endowed with human and natural resources ‘’but unfortunately the resources were mismanaged and squandered, leading to the present situation in the land”.
Buhari, however, noted that with the support, sacrifice and resolve of Nigerians to effect change, the country will be the better for all.
He reiterated his promise that in the course of running his government, he would not favour or discriminate against anyone, but ensure that Nigeria’s resources are fairly and judiciously distributed across every nook and cranny of the land.
“We will run a transparent government and in doing so I will not favour my family,” he said.
