The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo
has advised outgoing governors on how to go about their lives after they
relinquish power in a few days time.
Osinbajo advised that outgoing
governors should not sleep for long hours but use the experience and
opportunity they garnered while in office for the good of the common man.
He stated this yesterday during
the valedictory session of the National Economic Council, NEC, at the Council
Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Vice President told the
governors to use the opportunity to further serve the country in various
capacities, leveraging on their influence in the areas of healthcare and
education.
He stressed that donor agencies
will be glad to work with the ex-governors, especially those with track records
of healthcare provision and other humanitarian needs.
According to Osinbajo: “I advise
that you should use your influence and reach to the advantage of Nigerian
people. You have seen and heard for yourselves the enormity of our national
problems.
“Very few people have the advantage to see closely as we do on the issues that concern our country, the
issues that even concern our different states.
“We, here, have that unique
advantage. So I think that we can help in one way or the other; we can do
something in our states and other states in a way of advocacy or action on
education and healthcare in particular and jobs.
“I think it is important for those
of us who have had the benefit of all of these experience and leadership not to
now settle down to a life of business or perhaps of enjoyment or sleeping for
eight hours. I need this time for action.”
