He stated clearly that President Buhari has put a stop to the barbaric practice Ojudu assured that the current administration will only do that which is in the best interest of the people Under previous administrations..
A chief or politician who pays a visit to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa is handed $100,000 or $50,000 when leaving says Senator Babafemi Ojudu.
He said; “In the past, somebody would come to Aso Rock, a chief or a politician. And they package $100,000, $50,000 for him.
The man gets back to his hotel room, dashes his driver $500, dashes his PA $1,000, his girl friend $200. This has stopped. Such money must go into productive services, medical services, infrastructure etc.
“Let’s do something that is enduring for our people. All these stop gap measures, going as subsidies, we’re going to stop them.
Let’s make our refineries work. Don’t let us make millionaires of a few and poor people of
millions.
“What people are saying is just like saying ‘bring back corruption’. They don’t know what corruption has done to this country. You vote about a billion naira for a hospital, and N800 million is taken away by corruption, and you have only N200 million left. So, there won’t be medication, there won’t be ambulances etc you can imagine how many people die due to such act. They stash such money outside the country. They buy houses in America, buy private jets etc.
“Do you know the havoc that corruption has done to this country over the years? That is why we now have half-baked graduates. Do you know what corruption has done to our infrastructure over the years? Look at the Abuja-Lokoja Road. What you have now is not the original design. Look at how much has been voted for that road, and several other roads across the country.
How long are we going to continue with that kind of situation? We have a president that is sympathetic, who is not going to build a new house, who is not going to buy a house in London, or Dubai; but who has dedicated his life towards solving our problems. The damage of so many years is not going to be corrected in just 10 or 11 months.
