President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated the determination of the administration to rid the country of injustice and corruption, saying those who cheat or loot the country would face justice.
The president said this at an audience with South-West Imams and Islamic scholars on Sunday at the State House in Abuja.
“Any person who cheated or looted the nation will be brought to justice, irrespective of status of the person in society,” he said.
The president called on religious leaders in the country to spread the message among their followers of the government’s total determination to promote social justice.
He said the nation’s diverse religions and cultures teach justice by all and for all, adding “unless there is justice for everyone, the country cannot progress.”
In his remarks, leader of the delegation, Sheik Abdulrasheed Hadiyatullah, described politics as the proper administration of public affairs and rebuilding what was destroyed.
He commended the president for doing building the country, and assured him of their support in reforming the country.
“We have never seen a purposeful government as this one. We have great respect for you. We will continue to support your war against corruption and the programmes aimed at making life better for the generality of Nigerians,” he said.
