Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that corruption and looting of public funds will not be tolerated because President Muhammadu Buhari has zero-tolerance for corruption.
Osinbajo also explained that the federal government decided to assist the states with the bailout fund because states owe commercial banks a total of N685bn.
The Vice-President said this at a ceremony in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
He said the federal government will ensure the implementation of a social welfare policy designed to alleviate poverty and ensure uniform distribution of the dividends of democracy to the masses.
Osinbajo who praised Shehu for his exemplary character noted that the Buhari-led administration would not condone corruption.
He also praised Kano State governor, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje for adopting and rehabilitating 100 children who were victims of insurgency.
Osinbajo said “I am excited to see great things you (Governor Abdullahi Ganduje) and your government are doing. What you are doing in the state shows that the coming generation will be well taken care of. These children have gone through trauma, but with this treatment, it will not affect their future because these children can be presidents and architects tomorrow.”
