President Muhammadu Buhari has
said he put many people in prison for corruption, while he was Military Head of
State.
Buhari stated this on Wednesday,
when he paid homage to the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II in his palace, as
part of his two-day visit to the state.
“When I was the military head of
state, I have arrested many people and jailed them for alleged corruption and
in the end, I also ended in a jail,” he said.
Buhari also lamented that from
1999 to 2014, Nigeria got so much wealth but it was misused.
“They squandered the money and we
still don’t have a constant power supply, no good education for our children
and we don’t have good hospitals and roads,” he said.
The President added that his
government had played significant roles in restoring peace and harmony in the
North East.
“We have recorded tremendous
successes in our efforts to achieve the three agenda of my government;
security, economy, and fight against corruption.
“Nigeria, Chad and Niger Republic
have succeeded in crushing Boko Haram insurgents in the Northeast. The countries
have come together to fight a common goal because without peace and stability
we cannot achieve anything,” he said.
