PARIS, OCTOBER 22, 2016: (DGW) THE Vice President , Prof Yemi Osinbajo has stunned Nigerians and the international community by passing a vote of no confidence on the Buhari-led Federal Government over comment on corruption.
Osinbajo reportedly said all the three arms of government in Nigeria, namely, the executive, judicial and legislative arms are all corrupt while presiding over the 4th convocation ceremony at Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
In what presents him as a paradox in some ways, he tendered this as the reason for the the ongoing anti-corruption war in the country. Coruption, he said, has destroyed the social fabric of the Nigerian society which has triggered off poverty and other social vices.
According to him, “All the institutions of government, I mean the executive, legislature and the judiciary are corrupt. What we need is serious reorientation.
“That is why the ABUAD is a great university because it teaches learning, character and morality. So, value reorientation is a key weapon to fight corruption.
“That was why the present federal government is intervening because if we refuse, every facet of the country will fail. We must act fast and deal with the situation as quickly as possible.”
Speaking further, he patted Chief Afe Babalola on the back, the founder of the university for his stand against corruption which he said led to the establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Hailing him further on his anti-corruption stance, he said, “My learned senior, Chief Afe Babalola, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, appeared in a famous case in 2001 for the Federal Government in which he said that corruption is the greatest hindrance to our development.
“I have great respect for Chief Afe Babalola because of his stand against corruption. Sometimes in 2001, Chief Babalola argued the case for the establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) where he let the court realized that corruption is the greatest problem of our nation.”
Osinbajo charge the graduands to learn and acquire skills that will enhance their value and also develop and maintain integrity to enable them fit on to society as they leave the four walls of university in pursuit of their life's endeavours.
He told them to ” appreciate that this is the age of multi-tasking and multi-skilling . One must today learn to be a master of himself and you must be technology savvy in whatever you choose to do.
“Talent is nothing if you are not diligent; integrity is important because lack of integrity may come back to haunt you because you may need the recommendation of somebody.”
