I’ll Jail Corrupt Politicians Irrespective Of Ethnicity, Religion – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, warned that any corrupt politician “caught red-handed” stealing public funds under his watch will go to jail.

President Buhari said irrespective of ethnicity or religion, he will ensure that politicians who deprive the masses of their basic amenities due to corruption will visit the prison yard.

The president stated this while receiving the Benue State leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House.

The Benue APC leaders were led to the Presidential Villa by Senator George Akume.

“I honestly don’t know how people sleep when workers have not been paid. The workers have to pay rent, buy food, send their children to school and they have health care to take care of,” Buhari told the party leaders.

“I assure you that my main interest is all Nigerians in all parts of the country.

“Therefore, if anybody who tries to create any impression that I prefer any group across ethnicity or religion let him dare me by being caught red-handed stealing public funds. I will deal with him.

“I thank you for your courage to come and see me. This visit has resuscitated our morale,’’ he said.
