Chief Okori, who was the APC candidate for the Akwa Ibom North-West
senatorial district, also said that Buhari would prove to Nigerians and
the international community that corruption could be checked in the
country.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom, Inibehe Okori has said that President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari would shock Nigerians with his pronouncements on May 29, 2015, the day of his inauguration.
Chief
Okori, who was the APC candidate for the Akwa Ibom North-West
senatorial district, also said that Buhari would prove to Nigerians and
the international community that corruption could be checked in the
country.
Okori made the statements on Sunday, May 3, while speaking in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom.
“Unlike
other presidents who were not prepared for leadership but foisted on
the country by individuals and interest groups, the President-elect has
consistently presented himself to the electorate to lead the country on
four occasions and had his visions well enunciated,” Okori said.
“Buhari
is taking over government on May 29 and from that day, I expect that he
will make major pronouncements that will position Nigeria for
greatness. This country must have a direction and move in the way it
should. We don’t have any reason to be poor. We have no reason to remain
the way we are – not after earning more than $50bn annually from oil
and gas,” he added.
Buhari has expressed his
readiness to probe Nigeria’s oil sector including the subsidy payment
regime and the allegations of $20 billion going missing from the
accounts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
