My point is on bribery and corruption, which is one of my three areas of focus. Those people who say they spent 16 billion dollars on power, they will account for it.
Yes, we are under a system now. Those who have been given responsibilities, in the three tiers of government; the Federal, States and Local Governments as they are busy, we will ask anti-graft agencies to investigate and prosecute them.
We have already done a lot of cases, you know it, they came here and bought properties here in Abuja, and they invested outside the country.
We are appealing to different States in Europe and America to please help us recover looted government properties, which we are now putting back to building infrastructure.
