Abuja \u2013 The Action Congress of\u00a0 Nigeria (ACN) presidential candidate,\u00a0 Mallam Nuhu Ribadu,\u00a0 on Friday\u00a0 said\u00a0 he\u00a0 never listed former Lagos State governor,\u00a0 Bola Tinubu,\u00a0 as\u00a0 corrupt when he was EFCC boss.<\/p>\n

Ribadu, who was answering\u00a0\u00a0 questions at the NN24 Presidential Debate\u00a0 held in Abuja, said Tinubu had made tremendous contributions\u00a0 to the development of\u00a0 Lagos State\u00a0 as well as the growth of democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu is one Nigerian that I respect very much. He deconstructed the power of the ruling party in Lagos. He supported and nurtured the growth of\u00a0 ACN from the scratch,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Ribadu also stated that if elected, he would reduce the multiplicity of\u00a0 government paratatal\u00a0 agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will place emphasis on private sector-driven economy.<\/p>\n

\u201c Investing in people and private sector will boost development of small scale enterprises.<\/p>\n

\u201c We will cut down the number of\u00a0 government agencies and parastatal agencies\u00a0 to save funds for use to develop the critical sectors of\u00a0 the economy,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Also speaking,\u00a0 retired\u00a0 Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Congress\u00a0 for Progressive Change (CPC) flag bearer,\u00a0 denied being\u00a0 autocratic as perceived by a section of the\u00a0 media.<\/p>\n

Buhari said between 2003 and 2007,\u00a0 he had\u00a0 course to approach the courts to express his grievances over the outcome of the elections.<\/p>\n

This, he said,\u00a0 was a confirmation of\u00a0 his democratic credentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I lost elections in 2003 and 2007,\u00a0 I did not go to the streets. I spent 50 months in the courts asking for my rights.<\/p>\n

\u201c That shows I am a democrat but I chose to use the courts to vent my disagreement with the conduct of\u00a0 the polls,\u00a0 he added.(NAN)<\/p>\n
