Social activist, Dr Moses Iloh, says former military ruler and All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) is the  politician capable of taming corruption if elected in 2015.

The cleric argued that the country is in need of a disciplined man to arrest its depreciating state, stressing that Nigeria is getting worse by the day.  Iloh who noted that he grew up in a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria where love and brotherhood was the hallmark, noted that the country is divided along ethnicity and religion by those benefiting from it.

” It is sad that on a daily basis, impunity and corruption is on the increase and the president seems to encourage such acts by his silence. Can you imagine seven lawmakers sacking 19 lawmakers in Ekiti while they also purportedly impeached the Speaker. It is a disgrace to this country. You can imagine the global shame that the country would have been subjected to if those honourable members did not scale the fence of the National Assembly because the few PDP members inside the chamber would have impeached Aminu Tambuwal as the Speaker of the House, ” he said.

The Biafra war veteran  emphasised the government led by the People Democratic Party, PDP, since 1999, has destroyed the military, the air force and weakened the economy of the country, adding that it is hard to point to any achievement of the party.

“It will be honourable of the party to conduct free and fair elections in 2015 and allow Nigerians to elect their leaders. But I doubt if PDP is willing to do that because of the fear of failure” he added.

He urged Nigerians to stand up for their rights and vote for credible candidates, especially General Buhari.
” I have no doubt in my mind that Buhari will end impunity, the barbaric killing in the country and revive the economy of the country. He has shown that he is a disciplined man with integrity and the desire to reposition Nigeria to the path of glory” he noted.
