November 17, (THEWILL) – The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has identified corruption in public offices, as one of the major challenges bedevilling the country.
Tinubu stated this in Owerri, Imo State capital, during a Town Hall meeting on Thursday.
Making a promise to end the stealing of public funds if he wins the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu said, “There are so many ways to fight and stop corruption.
“Yes, corruption will stop when Felix does not need to look for four million at a time to buy a little car.
“When that car is assembled here and they hear finance, credit finance is associated with it, the credit financing will move the production, increasing the production demand, the availability of credit will equally multiply the need for purchase.
“I call on you as individuals, as leaders to join hands with me to achieve prosperity and renew hope.
“I call on you to choose to be part of our nation’s golden future and not the past excuses.
“I call on you to align with the best in humanity that we are brilliant, we are courageous and we are confident. When we put our hands into something, we do it, we can do it.
“We can change our country. Stop complaining, we can start to stop the flood, ravages of poverty, the ineptitude of governance and the silence of our member society.
“Don’t ask me for N8 billion, N11 billion at a go to buy a house. Bring credit for consumers and reduce the propensity, the desirability for fraud.
“I call you to align yourself with the best, only hope for progressive governance in this region and all regions of Nigeria.
“This nation awaits us at the threshold. Let’s put together aside to secure for our beloved nation its finest destiny. Let’s take that courageous step.
“Let’s work for a better and greater Nigeria. We can do it. It’s a change of mindset, it’s a question of determination.
