Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has described President Muhammadu Buhari as the saving grace of the Nigerian economy who rescued the country from the looters in previous administrations.

Osinbajo, who is the Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 poll stated this on Monday during a roundtable and mentorship programme on Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises(MSME) in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

His words: “Many of our leaders are not responsible so Nigeria needs a honest man to lead the people and President Buhari is doing just that.

“Don’t allow anybody to deceive you. President Buhari is a honest man. Our problem in this country is that many of our leaders are stealing our money. So you must disallow them from coming to power again.”

Osinbajo said Nigerians would be plunged into another round of embezzlement if the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) succeeds in wresting power from the current administration which he said has been prudent in terms of financial management.

“Rather than stealing money, President Buhari is doing more in strengthening the youths through N-Power, Tradermoni, School Feeding Programme, Lagos-Kano rail line, Calabar-Asaba-Abuja Railway line, among others.

“All these are meant to benefit Nigerian masses. As we speak, 500,000 Nigerians are benefiting from N-Power but we are not going to stop at that. Soon, the number will increase.

“The next level of our government is to give loans to women, youths and other sectors through the special banks that are underway to make life easy for the masses,” he added.
