The APC led regime will ask embezzlers to return money – El-Rufai

Firstclass newsline gathered that Nasir el-Rufai, said on Tuesday
that the incoming government of Muhammadu Buhari would ask corrupt
politicians to return every kobo stolen by them.
He also said that the Buhari administration would inherit a huge debt
from the Goodluck Jonathan government.
The governor-elect told executive members of the National Union of
Textile Garments and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, who visited him
in Kaduna, that such politicians must be ready to return all
ill-gotten funds after May 29.
He however said those (politicians) who were not corrupt had no cause to fear.
According to him, the measure was imperative because the All
Progressives Congress-led government would be in a dire financial
strait on assumption of office.
El-Rufai said, "We will politely ask those who stole government money
to return the funds. This is because the people, who are in government
now, are there to work for themselves. But the APC government is made
up of people who are ready to work for the masses and the betterment
of the country.
"We will work with the textile unions to ensure that the lives of the
average Nigerians get better."
The ex-minister also decried the poor state of the textile industry in
Kaduna State and gave assurance that his administration would revamp
it.
He lamented the current employment figure of 1,600 people in the
textile sector, describing it as unacceptable.
El-Rufai added that the textile industry in Kaduna alone used to
employ about 33,000 workers.
According to him , the APC government will revive the industry so that
it can generate employment and impact on the lives of the people.
He said, "We have met at a forum of northern governors-elect and we
decided to ensure the revival of the textile industry. It is a shame
that the largest economy in Africa imports textile materials from
Senegal and other countries."
The President of the union, Oladele Hunsu, recalled el-Rufai's feat as
minister of the FCT and urged him (el-Rufai) to take steps towards
reviving the textile industry.
