The
Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, says the
party will hold public office holders to account for their stewardship
if voted to lead the federal government in the February polls.
Osibanjo said this during a town hall meeting with “ActNow’’ an NGO, in Abuja on Monday.
He said there will be severe consequences against those who engage in looting public treasury.
“We
will stamp out corruption; there will be severe consequences for those
engaged in looting public treasury. “The APC will run a transparent
government where public officials will be accountable to the people’’, he said.
According to Osibanjo creating jobs remained a core agenda of the party, adding that “the
APC will care for the country’s teeming youths from different
directions. “Jobs and creation of employment opportunities have been
major issues in the manifesto of the APC. “Our government will place
jobless and poor Nigerians on monthly stipends of N5,000 and N7,000
respectively. “The idea is to take 2.5 million people out of poverty
every year’’, he said.
On the promise of free healthcare for children, Osibanjo said “we will follow the example of Osun state where such has been done successfully.’’
On the country’s security challenge, Osibanjo said “Buhari
will lead the military to the North-East himself to fight the
insurgents. “There will also be a consistent increase in the funding of
the military by APC’’, Osibanjo said.
