Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau
State has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is not vindictive on the fight
against corruption but determined to recover all looted funds by former and
present government officials.
Governor Lalong noted that his
administration would continue to support President Buhari’s anti-corruption
crusade.
He said that the prison had been
prepared and equipped for corrupt politicians including him, if found guilty at
the end of his tenure.
The governor disclosed this, at
the weekend, shortly after Hon. Latep Dabang was returned as chairman of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) Plateau State and other executive members of
the party.
He stressed that no corrupt
politician should be pardoned until all funds looted are recovered and made
available for public use.
Said he, “It took me time to
react on what is going on in the Plateau, some people are saying the President
is vindictive on the fight against corruption when he said some people should
go an answer the allegations raised against them. Is Mr. President vindictive
when he asked some people to go and answer for their crime? Certainly No.
“It is a usual thing in Plateau
state. I said I have prepared, and people have been going to that place called
prison, I am also going to make the place more befitting if I am also found
guilty at the end of my administration, I will go there. I want us to continue
to pray for Mr. President for good health; nobody is perfect, we all know that,
so that when we see our imperfection, we should pray to Almighty God to help us
to correct them.”
Senator Representing Plateau
Central in the National Assembly, Sen. Joshua Dariye, said he was in the PDP to
win election and return to the Ruling All Progressive Congress.
He advised the APC within and
outside the state to remain courageous in the fight to retain power beyond
2019, saying the opposition PDP is also working to return to power.
He urged Nigerians to obtain
their PVCs and vote for President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2019 general
elections elections to end insecurity, corruption and other form of criminality
that has ravaged the nation.
Hon. Dabang, on behalf of all the
State Executive members of the APC who were reelected for another tenure of
four years unopposed, pledged their commitment to the party’s progress.
