President
Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday, maintained that the duty of his administration
was to imprison those who had looted the nation’s treasury.
He
said it was his government’s responsibility to send to jail those who had
corruptly enriched themselves by dipping their hands into the country’s
commonwealth.
The
President said this in Lagos at the presidential rally of the All Progressives
Congress, where he promised that if re-elected, he would continue to focus on
the promises he made in 2015.
The
President vowed to prosecute those who had yet to return Nigeria’s stolen funds
before sending them to prison.
Buhari
said, “I assure you that the promises we made in 2015, based on which you
elected us, we’ve made tremendous progress and I have mentioned through others
what the administration is doing on security, economy and fighting corruption.
“I
assure you, whoever is entrusted (with public property), his primary
responsibility is to account for it.
“If
the proper thing is not done, we will eventually get hold of them; take away
what they have stolen and get them imprisoned.
“This
is our duty; this is our responsibility and I assure you we will continue to do
it.”
Buhari
said he looked forward to the people’s support to be re-elected.
