Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has revealed the leaders Nigeria need.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says Nigeria needs more leaders who are proactive and prepared to bring the citizens together.

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, on Monday, quoted Osinbajo to have made this known in Lagos at the weekend during a courtesy visit to the palace of Oniru of Iruland, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, on the occasion of the monarch’s first coronation anniversary.

The statement was titled, ‘Nigeria needs leaders prepared to unite Nigerians, Osinbajo says at Oniru’s One Year Coronation Anniversary’.

Osinbajo, while commending the Oniru for being a leader to people of diverse socio-ethnic backgrounds, said, “Our country needs all the leaders, the best leaders, the most proactive leaders, leaders prepared to bring the country together.

“Lagos is a microcosm of Nigeria, everybody is here, if things work out well here, things will be okay in the country.

“I am sure your role here is that of someone who brings together communities not just Yorubas, but everybody. And I can see that from your choice of chiefs, you have gone to other parts, and I think this is the attitude of great leaders,” he said.

Osinbajo further stated that it is impossible to relegate traditional rulers because of the exposure and education of those who occupy those positions today.

On his part, the Oniru of Iruland thanked the Vice President for his leadership and commitment to the progress of Nigeria.

“You are a leader whose direction we will continue to follow. The relationship between the Vice President and I has been very cordial.

“I want to assure you, Mr. Vice President, that I will not disappoint you, I will ensure the progress of this kingdom and I will be just,” Oba Abdulwasiu said.
