The
Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has expressed hope that Nigeria will surely
overcome its many challenges.
Osinbajo said there
was hope for Nigeria despite the nationwide hardship being experienced under
the current government.
He gave this message
of hope while speaking when he received a delegation of the Muslim Lawyers
Association at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
Prof. Osinbajo said
the N500billion Social Investment programmes of the President Muhammad Buhari
presidency was a means to energize the economy and deal with issues of poverty
in the country.
“All these are ways
and means of energising the economy and deal with some of the harshest problems
like poverty,” said the Vice President, while also adding that despite the
current economic conditions in the country there was great hope.
Osinbajo noted further
that, “we are here at this time because that is the will of God to deliver the
goods and do the right things for this country. It is very interesting the
situation we find ourselves, but there is great hope.”
The Vice President
said both the President and himself were committed to a new united Nigeria,
populated by a ‘New Tribe’ that would be united across otherwise divisive lines
be it ethnic or religious.
He added that as a
people “we should never be divided on religion and ethnicity, everyone is free
to practice their own faith. When we come together as a people we must advance
the interest of our nation.”
