The Initiative to Save Democracy
(ISD), a socio-political group, says the performance of Vice-President Yemi
Osinbajo in Friday’s debate shows he is the best vice-president in the history
of Nigeria.
The debate was organised by the Nigeria
Elections Debate Group (NEDG) and the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria
(BON).
Peter Obi of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Ganiyu Galadima of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria
(ACPN), Khadija Abdullahi-Iya of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) and Umma Getso
of Young Progressive Party (YPP) locked horns with Osinbajo.
The group, in a statement by
Sunday Akinloye, its president, said “Osinbajo riveted his class as the best
Vice President in Nigeria’s history.”
Quoting the replies Osinbajo gave
to questions asked, ISD said “Osinbajo used verifiable facts to buttress his
points compared to other candidates.”
“Stating categorically how the
ruling government will take Nigerians to the next level when re-elected, Osinbajo
noted that the government will continue to build on infrastructure and human
capital development,” the statement read.
“The Vice President drew the
biggest cheer of the debate when he replied Peter Obi, the Vice Presidential
candidate of the PDP insinuated that the ruling All Progressives Congress had
left its shop and was chasing thieves.
“In response, Prof Osinbajo said,
“If you allow criminals to steal all the inventories in the shop, there will be
no shop. That’s the problem and the World Bank said that corruption is the
major impediment to Nigeria’s development.”
