President Muhammadu Buhari has
directed security agencies to keep tabs on people on corruption watch list.
The president disclosed this at
the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Ado-Ekiti,
capital of Ekiti state on Tuesday.
He said fighting corruption in a
nation like Nigeria was not an easy task but vowed to carry on.
“We are fighting corruption but
it has not been easy. But we told the security agencies to keep tabs on those
on our watch list and ensure that no stone is left unturned in ensuring that
those who have cases to answer do not escape justice,” he said.
Buhari said he was quite
conscious of the promises he made while contesting four years ago, particularly
the ones that have to do with corruption, insecurity and economic
diversification.
“As part of our promises, we are
building roads, rail lines and fighting corruption. We introduced treasury
single account and increased power supply, so Nigerians can have their own
businesses,” he said.
He said in addition to the fight
against corruption, his administration had made efforts in the last three and a
half years to revamp the economy and rebuild social infrastructure, such as
roads, rail services and power generation.
Buhari expressed gratitude to the
people, saying, “I want to be grateful to Ekiti voters because the two times I
came here, I achieved success.
“I came here in 2014 and I also
came here to campaign for Fayemi. He won the governorship election. So, I thank
you.”
Other party leaders at the rally
were governors Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti)’ Gboyega Oyetola (Osun); Abiola Ajimobi
(Oyo); Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo) and Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun).
Also at the rally were Bisi
Akande, a former interim chairman of the APC; Bola Tinubu, a national leader of
the ruling party, and Olusola Oke, a party chieftain.
At the rally, a former deputy
governor of Ekiti, Abiodun Aluko, formally defected to APC.
