Vice President Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, has declared that the current administration will continue to arrest
those who stole the nation’s money.
Osinbajo also said the difference
between the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government and the past
administration is that the current regime that do not steal public fund.
He said this on Thursday in
Akure, Ondo State at the inauguration of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises,
MSME, Clinic.
Osinbajo also took a swipe at the
critics of the present administration, describing them as being corrupt and
wanting to reclaim power by all means so as to continue to perpetrate their
corrupt acts.
He said, “The corruption is
desperately fighting back so that they can come back to power. God will make it
impossible.
“We had access to lesser money
than the previous administration but what we had been able to do were far more
than what they did.
“We are able to achieve this
because we are spending what we have for the people.
“They promised Lagos- Kano rail
line, they did not do it. We earn lesser than they had, we are doing it.
“Look at Lagos Ibadan rail line,
they had much money, they did not do it, we are doing it. Look at Lagos -Ibadan
Expressway, we are doing it.
“We shall continue to arrest
these who stole the nation’s money. They said we have not been able to convict
anybody, we are not bothered, we shall continue to arrest and prosecute them.
Let the case remain in court.”
He said that the current
administration had done more than what the opposition PDP did in 16 years
despite the fact that government earnings have reduced by 60 percent.
Osinbajo pointed out that the
APC-led government has committed N1.3 trillion to infrastructural development
since they came on board.
On the criticism that nobody has
been put in jail on account of corruption the Vice President said “we will
continue to put them on trial even if court has not put them into jail.”
“This government wants to be
honest with the people. The difference between us and the previous government
is that we are not stealing public fund. All the project being mouthed by the
previous government begun,” he added.
