The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday appealed to Nigerians not to allow the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) return to power in the 2019 elections, saying the motive behind the party’s desperation is to loot the nation.
Osinbajo who stated this while speaking at a Roundtable and Mentorship Programme on Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, MSME, in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, said but for President Muhammadu Buhari’s honesty and sincerity of purpose, Nigeria’s economy would have collapsed long ago.
“Many of our leaders are not responsible, so Nigeria needs an honest man to lead the people and President Buhari is doing just that. Don’t allow anybody to deceive you. President Buhari is an honest man, Our problem in this country is that many of our leaders are stealing our money, so you must disallow them from coming to power again.
“Rather than stealing money, President Buhari is doing more in strengthening the youths through N-Power, Tradermoni, School Feeding Programme, Lagos-Kano rail line, Calabar—Asaba-Abuja Railway line, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, among others. All these are meant to benefit Nigerian masses.
“As we speak, 500,000 Nigerians are benefiting from N-Power, but we are not going to stop at that. Soon, the number will increase. “The Next Level of our government is to give loans to women, youths and other sectors through the Special banks that are underway to make lives easy for the masses.”
