Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Thursday, clarified that the current economic hardship in the country is not meant to punish Nigerians, but the government is trying to lay solid foundation for good governance. Osinbajo, who was speaking at a Public Lecture/Presentation of Award tagged; “Service Above Self” organised by the Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria (MULAN), in Abuja, said it is imperative for all not minding political, religious or tribal inclination to stand for justice, equity and unity of Nigeria.
Represented by the Senior Special Assistant on Political Matters to the President, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, the Vice President lauded some Muslim faithfuls, who have been speaking against acts of violence perpetrated against Christians by some extremists.
“Yes! Things are very hard in the country. Our government meant very well for Nigerians, this is not to punish people. It is because things have gone bad in the past,” he said.
In his remarks, the National President of MULAN, Dr Kamal Dawud maintained that to ensure peaceful coexistence in the country, non-Muslim brothers and sisters must understand that Islam is a peaceful religion with some sensitive issues. According to him, “Let our non-Muslim brothers and sisters avoid these sensitive issues and make them no go areas, to allow peace reign in Nigeria”.

What are the sensitive issues?
ReplyDeleteIf you do not declare the sensitive issues, how would people know and avoid.
You mean well for Nigerians????, Maybe for the generation to come. We are indeed in abject poverty in this country. Mr. Vice President do you and your family eat 3 square meal a day? Have you see how common man suffer on the street? What is your govt doing? We are tired of this cosmetic speeches of yours and your govt. Arise and ask God for directions, Be honest and humble to God. Ask for forgiveness and stop witch hunting your opponents. 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. May God give you a divine wisdom to interpret my advice Amen.
ReplyDeleteMy question to you is, does this VP look like someone who has time to eat and drink? Let us pray for these 2 leaders that God will indeed enable and grant them the wisdom and knowledge to grant Nigerians the goodness that we desire. I personally think this man is very sincere.
