Vice President Osinbajo

Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has reiterated that the federal government will not spare persons indicted for corruption.

Mr Osinbajo who stated this yesterday, February 3 in Ogun state said corruption has ravaged the nation’s economy and threatening the government’s plan to put in place necessary infrastructure.

Osinbajo guaranteed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration would begin the implementation of all its campaign promises immediately the 2016 budget is signed into law.

“The development of our country should be of utmost importance to all of us. We should continue to proclaim it loud that corruption should not be tolerated. We have to keep saying it everywhere that no corrupt person would go scot-free. Whoever is involved and whatever his status is, he must answer for such wrongs done. We have to keep proclaiming that everywhere,” the VP said. 

He equally disclosed that  the Federal Government had provided for the unemployed youths, artisans, market men and women in the budget, noting that employment and job creation for the youths remained the cornerstone of the Buhari administration.

Meanwhile, emerging reports suggests that the Attorney General and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, would be invited by the Senate.

Sources say the Parliament on Wednesday, February 3, resolved to invite the AGF over alleged fresh plot to kidnap Senator Buruji Kashamu and ship him to the United States to face trial on alleged drug charges.
