Yoruba Elders’ Council Lauds VP Osinbajo On Performance, Want Restructuring

The Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) has hailed Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo for being a good ambassador of the Yoruba and loyal
to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The council said it was proud of Osinbajo for performing most
admirably well in office, and exuding good leadership, especially,
on few occasions that the president was not around.

YCE Secretary-General, Dr. Kunle Olajide, said these in an
interview with reporters at his country home in Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti
State, on Sunday.

He spoke after his son, Adegoke, was blessed by the foremost
leaders of the All Progressives Congress as an aspirant for the
Efon constituency in the Ekiti State House of Assembly. The event
took place at the residence of the Erungboa of Obalu Quarters,
Joseph Alake.

Olajide said: “Yoruba are very proud of Mr. Vice President
(Osinbajo). He has performed most creditably in office. His
absolute loyalty to his boss is commendable.

“Moreover, on the few occasions he acted as President, his
leadership has been most inspiring.”

Olajide, however, said the VP goofed on his position on
restructuring of Nigeria.

Osinbajo had, at a town hall meeting in Minnesota, the United
States of America, on Sunday, said the problem of Nigeria is not
geographical restructuring, rather, prudent management of national
resources and providing for the people properly.

He also said prudent management of the country’s resources and
the provision of essential needs of the people are better ways of
addressing Nigeria’s development challenges.

“The problem with our country is not a matter of restructuring,
and we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into the argument that
our problems stem from some geographic restructuring,” he had
said.

In his reaction, Olajide said: “He (Osinbajo) missed it on the
issue of restructuring.

“The Federal Government must listen to wise counsel on the need
for restructuring in the country.

“Restructuring is very fundamental to the problems of Nigeria,
for obvious reasons. This is a heterogeneous country, made of
different nations, tribes, histories and cultures and,
consequently, different priorities.

“Our concept of development differs from one part of the country
to another. If we must live together in peace, each of the nation’s
must itemise its priorities as regards their cultures, histories
and believes.”

Olajide urged the people to support his son for the assembly’s
seat and assured them of quality representation.

Alake promised that the town will support Adegoke, because, what
the people needed was a consensus candidate.
