Corruption will be eliminated if Buhari wins 2015 general election -Amaechi

THE Rivers State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum, Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi, said on Wednesday that corruption would disappear in
Nigeria if the presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), emerged the winner of the
2015 general election.
Amaechi specifically stated that Buhari would instill discipline and
uprightness on corrupt public officials in the country should he win
the forthcoming poll.

The Director General of Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization, who
made this remark while swearing in nine Permanent Secretaries at the
Government House in Port Harcourt, pointed out that Nigerians were
tired of the PDP leadership under President Goodluck Jonathan and
needed change.
Amaechi added that no matter the lies told by the leadership of the
PDP, Nigerians were interested in the improvement in the country's
affairs.
"We were sharing some discussions in the bus in the cause of our
campaign. The President and the PDP never knew that there will be a
time like this in Nigeria when Nigerians will be asking for change,
not because of APC or Amaechi but because they are tired of what is
going on.
"No matter the lies you tell, Nigerians just want change any type of
change they want it. It could be change for the better, it could be
change even for the worse but they certainly want change," the
governor stressed.
Amaechi, however, charged the newly sworn-in permanent secretaries to
see their appointment as a call to service delivery and ensure that
they were not on the wrong side of history.
He observed that in the past, permanent secretaries were not corrupt,
but upright, adding that currently, some of those occupying similar
position have landed property everywhere.
The governor urged the new permanent secretaries to resign if they
were not ready to serve and maintained that their current position
came with challenges.
Amaechi said, "Don't be one of those Permanent Secretaries that
history will have on the wrong side of the society. If you don't want
to serve, please, resign because it comes with challenges.
"Just imagine the days when J. E. Amadi was a permanent secretary, now
permanent secretaries have houses everywhere, estates they have built
for themselves and busy sharing money.
"You better change because the Buhari's government will force change
on everybody. I hope you listened to him (Buhari); he is not talking
about EFCC, he said there are rules of the civil service.
"If we obey those rules, corruption will seize. If we all run
government by those rules, then we will have a better country. Let me
congratulate you on behalf of the state government."
Those sworn in by the governor are Amieyefori Joseph, Marcus Anga,
Samuel Egbe and Dagogo Heart. Others are Mrs A. E. Petito, Augustine
Orlu Orlu, Sam Woka, Kingsley Hart and Mrs. Ibaniba Abella Briggs.
