Nigerians must resist return of looters to power – Osinbajo
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Monday called on Nigerians to resist the return of looters to power by voting for honest and selfless leaders in the forthcoming elections.
Osinbajo , who described Buhari as an honest and selfless Nigerian who could be trusted with the nation’ s resources to better the country ’ s lot , said it was a necessity for Nigerians to resist the Peoples Democratic Party, which it said was full of people desperate to loot the country and plunge the country into another crisis .
The vice president spoke in Ado Ekiti , the Ekiti State capital, during at a roundtable and mentorship programme on micro , small and medium scale enterprises .
Osinbajo , who led the Tradermoni programme in the Ado Ekiti metropolis , Ikere and Omuo Ekiti , was also at Iworoko Ekiti to condole with the community over the truck accident that claimed the lives of no fewer than 15 persons .
He said , “ Rather than stealing money , President Buhari is doing more in strengthening youths through N -Power , Tradermoni, Marketmoni , School Feeding Programme , Lagos – Kano rail line , Calabar -Asaba- Abuja railway line , among others . All these are meant to benefit Nigerian masses .
“ 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. ”
Osinbajo hinted that Buhari ’ s government would establish two special micro finance banks , People ’ s Money Bank and Entrepreneurial Bank to drive the Tradermoni and Market Money programmes , where beneficiaries would get between N 100 , 000 and N 500 , 000 to establish MSME to drive the economy .
He said , “ 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 sector through the special banks that are underway to make lives easy for the masses . ”
Ekiti State Governor , Dr Kayode Fayemi , said , “ If you want better values for your lives , if you need a government that will be compassionate and resourceful , then vote for Buhari/ Osinbajo in the next election .
“ The good livelihood of Ekiti people is dear to Buhari ’ s government and with the APC in the saddle , Ekiti will continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy , ” Fayemi said
