President Muhammadu Buhari has accused the leadership of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of trying to cover up their theft of the nation’s treasury for 16 years, asking Nigerians not to vote for any of the party’s candidates in the forthcoming elections.
The President declared, at the Presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which held in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital today, Wednesday: “they (the PDP leaders) said they spent $16billion on power. Where is the power?
“What they will try to do is to cover the theft they have committed against the nation.
“I assure you I will follow the system, anybody that is held responsible we will get him, take away the money and put in the treasury.”
“I am warning you don’t make the mistake of choosing any PDP candidate.”
President Buhari insisted that there had been a lot of progress since his administration came into power in 2015, saying: “I have challenged anybody in Nigeria to check in Europe, America and Asia that Nigeria was producing 2.1million barrels per day at the cost of $100 per barrel.
“Nigeria was earning 2.1million x$100 per barrel x 15 years, where was the money?”
He criticized the PDP for not doing enough in the area of power and railway.
