President Muhammadu Buhari has once again reaffirmed his commitment to make Nigeria a corrupt-free nation.
Buhari said his administration would not spare any corrupt public official, including members of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The President, who is currently on a four-day visit to the United States, said this during an interview with the CNN anchor, Christiane Amanpour.
“If any of my associates or party member is indicted of corruption, they cannot escape justice. There is not going to be any APC member or any close personality found guilty that would escape justice,” he said.
Buhari during the interview asserted that it was too early for people to start judging him on his campaign promises, adding that it won’t happen overnight.
He said, “I think I can be held accountable for my promises in the next quarters I have ahead of me. I think it is too early for anybody to pass judgement on my campaign promises.”
The president said he hoped to hook up with his host, Obama in Nigeria in no distant time.
“I wouldn’t say I was disappointed that President Obama did not choose to visit Nigeria but I wish that he would change his mind and come to Nigeria. Well, I asked him to come and would send a formal invitation,” he said.
