The President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has
assured Nigerians that he would not condone looting of
their common patrimony. He also promised to handle state
resources with utmost responsibility and honesty.
Buhari said this while receiving a delegation of the people of
his home-state, Katsina, who came to congratulate him on
his election as President, at his campaign office, in Abuja,
on Saturday.
He expressed his regret that the citizens had been
impoverished by 16-year maladministration by the Peoples
Democratic Party despite that the country received more
income in the period than at any other time in the country’s
history.
The President-elect said savings from his war against
corruption would be ploughed into education, with the
objective of empowering the citizens.
A statement issued by the Director of Media and Publicity of
the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Garba
Shehu, quoted Buhari as saying, “If you give education to a
man or woman, you have empowered them to be
productive. There is no better way to empowerment.”
Buhari equally expressed his commitment to multi-party
democracy as the best system of government, while he
appealed to all citizens to imbibe courage and
perseverance.
These virtues, he said, stood him in good stead in bringing
victory to him after failing three times in the past
presidential elections.
The leaders of the delegation included the state Chairman of
the All Progressives Congress, Katsina State, Mustapha
Inuwa; a former Governor of Katsina, Saidu Barda; a leading
Muslim cleric; a representative of federal legislators; and a
representative of the traditional institutions in the state. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
