President Muhammadu Buhari said no person accused of corruption can go scot-free even if they join his party, APC.
Mr Buhari said this in an interview on the NTA aired Thursday and monitored in Abuja.
Some opposition politicians accused of corruption are fond of joining the ruling party to avoid being prosecuted.
Some politicians accused of corruption who have joined the ruling party include ex-aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode and a senator, Stella Oduah.
But Buhari, however, said joining the APC does not absolve anyone accused of corruption from the crime.
The President also said he has given his best to Nigeria and he expects citizens to acknowledge the same after he leaves office.
“What I am expecting is for Nigerians to say this man has done his best.” the Nigerian leader added in the interview.
He also said he plans to take a well-deserved rest after leaving office in about 17 months.
