A member House of Representatives, Olajide Jimoh, has said that any member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, found guilty of corruption should be prosecuted, adding that nobody is above the law of the land.
Jimoh stated this in Lagos on Monday while speaking on President Mohammadu Buhari’s scorecard in the last two years.
According to him, “we are trying in the National Assembly to make a law that will back up whistle blowing policy.”
Jimoh said President Buhari, in the last two years had fought corruption and ensure peace in the Northern Nigeria.
“No country can survive without peace. During the last administration, many lives were lost to Boko Haram mayem but now peace has been restored”, he said.
In the area of economy, he appealed to Nigerians to support the President in order to find a last solution to the present challenges.
Responding to the statement credited to Senator Ahmed Makafi on lack of improvement in the area of economy and unemployment, the lawmaker said the problems confronting the ruling party today was initiated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying the president was doing everything to surmount the problems.
“Nobody can accused the President of diverting the nation’s fund because he is a man of integrity. He promised that Nigeria would be better especially in the area of economy. The president has tried his best in the area of fighting corruption,” he said.
Jimoh, therefore, said stable power in the country and viable industries would generate jobs for the unemployed.
It would recalled that Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s claims in his Easter message, to having met the expectations of Nigerians as an insult on their intelligence.
