Pressure group, Campaign for Democracy, CD, has urged the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to put in place a high-powered government machinery to recover stolen public funds and consider total removal of fuel subsidy.
Chairman of CD in Anambra State, Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme, stated in Onitsha yesterday that Buhari should do away with fuel subsidy since the common man was not feeling the impact.
According to him, “As an anti-corruption crusader, all corrupt politicians that may derail your good intention of righting the wrongs of the society must be kept at arm’s length.
“Complete removal of fuel subsidy and ensuring that all those that embezzled public funds are brought to book, their ill-gotten money confiscated. Such money will be used to build refineries in the country” he said.
Ezekwueme, who further urged the incoming President to run an all inclusive government and be magnanimous in victory, said, “CD hails the President-elect for his courage; consistence in standing for the election, despite that he had earlier contested the post for three consecutive times.
“We thank Nigerians for their peaceful conduct before, during and after the elections,” he added.
The CD state chairman appealed to Buhari to appoint men and women of impeccable integrity into his cabinet, if he really wanted to effect a change in the society.
He, however, commended President Goodluck Jonathan for earning international respect and recognition by willingly accepting the people’s wishes and aspirations of majority of Nigerians in the March 28 election.
