Apparently worried by the incessant power supply and corruption in
some sectors of the economy, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Edo state has urged the President elect, Maj.- Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, to live up to his pledge to eradicate corruption in
the country and improve on energy generation.
Comrade John Akhigbe, made the call in an interview with the Newsmen in Benin City, the Edo state capital
Akhigbe said that corruption had brought so much set back to the socio-economic growth and political stability of the country.
He explained that eradication of corruption would enable Nigerians to reap the dividends of democracy.
He called on Nigerians to eschew ethnic sentiments and religious
bigotry, which are factors militating against the country’s
socio-political and economic development.
He pointed out that Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, religion,
culture and political inclination, are capable of coming together to
make the country great under the right leadership.
Comrade Akhigbe who is the Executive director to the Edo state
government on Protocol also lauded the efforts of Nigerians for
practically demonstrating maturity that led to the peaceful conduct of
the most keenly contested election in Nigeria’s political history.
“If I am to set an agenda for him, power and corruption should occupy
the pride of place; this should be like in the short term. I don’t
believe in those people who says he should not probe, for me, he must
probe some sectors including the NNPC
“Nigerians want to know what has happened in NNPC, there is so much
corruption in the oil and gas sector. For me, I want to see him
addressing power and corruption while the other sector can have their
place,” he said
