Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a haven of corrupt elements who are desperately seeking to return to power, and continue looting of public funds.
Speaking during his house-to-house campaign in Ifako-Ijaiye local government area of Lagos state, Osinbajo lamented that 16 years administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was marred by grand corruption, which is evident in the lack of infrastructure for Nigerians.
The vice-president assured Lagosians that Buhari-led APC government would focus on jobs for youth, power and providing enough resources to financially empower petty traders and business owners.
“The difference between us and the PDP is that we don’t steal government resources. We use it for the people. We earn less and we spend more on the welfare of people than the previous government,” he said.
“Everybody know Buhari is an honest man. He will not steal public fund. We shall continue to fight corruption so that we can have enough money to provide infrastructure. We have to build on the foundation we have laid.

“The corrupt people will be jailed. That is why the corrupt elements in the opposition are desperate to regain power. We can’t leave government for the thieves.
“You should vote for APC because it is the only party that can do the job. We should not allow PDP to return to power.”
Osinbajo added that the key issue in the coming election was creation of jobs for youth, more power supply, provision of infrastructure.
“The next level will be much better than today. More power will be available to the people and there will be more infrastructure,” he said.
“Too much corruption have retarded our progress. That is why Buhari is fighting corruption. If there is no corruption, there will be money to carry out the developmental projects.
“Buhari will fight for young and old. He will not allow anybody to steal public funds. Government will decentralised power so that there will be adequate and efficient distribution of power in the country. Government will provide adequate electricity supply for the household, artisans, corporate organisations and business enterprise.”Ifaki-Ijaiye
