The
Buhari-led administration will jail more corrupt Nigerians, if re-elected, Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo has said.
Mr Osinbajo said this on Sunday during his
house-to-house campaign in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
traffic was at standstill as thousands of residents, including party faithful,
market persons and the Arewa Community, trooped out to receive the vice
president during the Sunday visit.
Mr Osinbajo, the vice presidential candidate of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), who was in the area to canvass for votes,
also visited various markets and houses in the area.
Speaking to people in Ifako-Ijaiye, Mr Osinbajo
said grand corruption, which plagued the 16 years administration of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) contributed to the lack of infrastructure for Nigerians.
Mr Osinbajo said the Buhari-led APC government
would focus on jobs for youths, power and providing enough resources to
financially empower petty traders and business owners.
“The
difference between us and the PDP is that we don’t steal government resources.
We use it for the people. We earn less and we spend more on the welfare of
people than the previous government.
“Everybody knows Buhari is an honest man. He
will not steal public fund. We shall continue to fight corruption so that we
can have enough money to provide infrastructure. We have to build on the
foundation we have laid.
“The corrupt people will be jailed. That is why
the corrupt elements in the opposition are desperate to regain power. We can’t
leave government for the thieves.
“You should vote for APC because it is the only
party that can do the job. We should not allow PDP to return to power,” he
said.
