Show your anti-corruption feats, Buhari dares Jonathan

The presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and his
running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
(SAN), have declared war on
corruption.
They, therefore, called on President
Goodluck Jonathan to showcase his
achievements on the war against
corruption in the face of allegations
of a missing $20bn.
Buhari said this in a statement by
the Director, Communications
Buhari Campaign Organisations, Mr.
Dele Alake, on Sunday.
He said, “In the spirit of the war
against corruption, we demand the
release of the audit report of the
missing $20bn.
“Clearly unable to oppose us with
an equally clean and unassailable
ticket, we can understand why our
opponents are running from pillar
to post digging graves in search of
rumours in the impossible hope of
misinforming unsuspecting voters
and spinning a web of blackmail
and deceit.
“In this electoral contest of vision
and moral stature, only the guilty
needs to be afraid. Luckily, our lives
are like the open book. We
challenge our opponents to stake
their desire to lead Nigeria again
on what they have achieved with
the billions of resources they
received.”
Buhari said if voted into office, he
would implement programme
which would entail a zero-
tolerance for corruption.
He said his life was an open book as
he had nothing to hide.
The APC presidential candidate
boasted that he and his running
mate lived exemplary lives and had
become reference points for how
to live a morally upright life.
He said corruption was Nigeria’s
biggest problem as it led to a
myriad of problems especially poor
living conditions for Nigerians.
He said, “Our vision is a new Nigeria
in which corruption and abuse of
office shall be sanctioned according
to existing laws with the
strengthening of the institutions of
state; a Nigeria where the public
and private sectors will collaborate
to create zero tolerance for sharp
practices in the running of
government business.
“There is a clear linkage between
the billions of naira lost to
corruption and the poor living
conditions of our people: it is the
resources meant for the
development of our people that
are diverted to service the greed of
a few
“It is indeed true that, by sheer
force of personal examples, my
running mate and I, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, have demonstrated
beyond reasonable doubt that it is
possible to live above the greed
that dominates the system.”
