Anti-graft Award: Buhari congratulate Nuhu Ribadu

APC leaders had in the last faulted the reward system of the party, saying those who made the greatest sacrifice for the successes of the party in 2015 suffered the greatest loss and marginalization.

However, Director, Field Operations Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, said those who worked for the success of the party last weekend would not be forgotten.

He spoke at a “Thank You” reception for members of the directorate, held in Abuja yesterday.

“Ladies and gentlemen let us be very proud of ourselves. We did something that money cannot buy. We did it honestly and only God can testify to that. We didn’t invite  people to even come and look at it, no. The best human being is one that will do a good thing without necessarily waiting for people to take note.

“Honestly, be proud of yourselves, genuinely! And you will see the reward of it; it will come. No good work can go unrewarded, one way or the other, it will come. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow in the morning, but certainly it is going to come”, he said.

Ribadu said APC supporters have every reason to be happy, saying President Buhari is not one to tamper with Nigeria’s commonwealth.

“We will continue to be happy for the next four years because we have done something that is good for our country; we have re-elected a good man. Buhari is a good man. He is genuine. He is a fair gentleman. He is honest. He will protect our resources, he will. He will not allow bad people to cheat us and steal from our own commonwealth. He will not! And that is what we want in a leader.

“He will not go and sell Nigeria. He will not sell whatever that we have. He will not sit with anybody to plot evil or do bad thing. He will not. I saw it at a very close range, even up to this election. There was never a day or a minute that Buhari sat down and told us as his own campaign council, to go and do a bad thing. Never! He refused to allow even the traditional way of politicians taking advantage of what they have.

He refused. He refused to talk to the law enforcement agencies. He refused to interfere with INEC. He said let us go and meet the people, let’s sell our own product, let’s tell Nigerians what we have, and if they want to buy, let them take it. It is not about money, or intimidation, we would give Nigerians free opportunity and chance to decide and they decided”, he added.
