Gen. Buhari said: “If we do not kill corruption in this country, corruption will kill Nigerians. I assure you, we will plough back the funds for good infrastructure. Nigeria, with my experience in the petroleum industry, we are more of a gas country than petroleum country and we have no business not having regular electricity in this country. If you remove corruption, we need at least five years to have steady electric power, because we have to take the gas out. The gas is associated. It comes out with crude oil. You need high technology to separate it, to transport it, store it and build the power stations. Meanwhile, you have to complement it with the existing power stations, by maintaining them quarterly.
“When the PDP came, the megawatts (of electricity) was about 3000. After spending more than $20 billion in the last 16 years, we do not have up to 4000 megawatts. We must kill corruption. The leaders of the APC that are here (Liberation Stadium, Port Harcourt) from the six states of the South-South (Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River), I want you to be serious about your country. We just have to kill corruption. Tell your colleagues throughout the geo-political zone (South-South) to make sure that on March 28 and April 11 to cast their votes for the candidates of the APC, with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). Make sure your votes count. If you do not do it, you are really going to physically, materially and morally regret it. God forbid.”
