Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has apologized to residents of Lagos for the traffic gridlock which was caused by his visit to the state today. The whole of Victoria Island was on total lock down as the VP attended an event at Oriental Hotel on Ozumba Mbadiwe with former South African president Thabo Mbeki. Osinbajo apologized through his Snr Special Assistant-Media & Publicity, Laolu Akande.

Honestly naija has a long way to go.......In other countries such don't happen, for example in USA whatever level you are in politics no one knows when they pass.


But here in naija all road get blocked just because a certain person elected for one post can now uses the influence to ride on the people who voted them in.

Accepted! But please warn your security men to never allow such to happen again because of you.

What is really the big deal for a president or vice to attend an occasion without blocking the roads, What an archaic security measure.

We voted for change and we must see it happen.

What a shame!!!
Instead of ameliorating people's suffering, you are aggravating it.
And all we get is “Vice Presidential Apology". What stops you and your government to see this as an opportunity of making real change in Lagos by supporting the building of the 4th Mainland Bridge with immediate alacrity? What stops the federal government, by supporting state govt, from thinking of more speed rail and metro to link the whole of Lagos. What a massive construction it will be. How many youths will be employed during construction and during operation instead of distributing Okada and keke NAPEP to graduates as empowerment? How many hours will be saved? How many cars will that put off the road? How many tons of CO2 emission will that reduce? How many accidents will be indirectly averted? How many people will be saved from extortion from Police, LASTMA, Agbero, FRSC and VIO?

I rest my case jare!!!
NB: I am a strong supporter of this APC government hence the criticism


Do good for good to come your way

This shows the hypocrisy of APC followers. Had it been it was Gej, you would have seen all sorts of newspaper headlines. Even one thieving former governor even stated it caused armed robbery operations but today they all lost their voices. May your enemies lose their voices like these APC followers

It rarely happens in other countries for the following reason

They have better roads = wider roads, more traffic rules and lights , service men

They are well organized, when a vip is visiting certain places , possible routes are cordoned off with barricades and even if the crowds come , they don't go beyond that

They practise a politics of serving, being a politician doesn't make you special, Prime Minister , UK most always rides the subway and no paparazi


these out of more should convince and not confuse you that you can't compare mentality , road and orientation with Nigerian's

but more importantly , Osinbanjo did the right thing by apologizing, i do not recall GEJ or PEJ apologizing for any of that , she especially caused more than 7 hour hold up with her hundreds of fellow widowers convoy on lagos roads


and almost caused several plane crashes as airport was locked down for her own plane convoy to depart , while other flights were asked to keep roaming the airport

It will go a long way to calm frayed temper. It shows a VP that is sensitive to the plight of the people. I know measures will be put in place to avoid it next time.
Did we ever get an apology from GEJ or Mama Peace when they caused traffic gridlock? Capital NO. The difference is clear!

Wrong. In US, the President and the VP moves with all the paraphernalia of escort and security. New York's traffic in most commercial places is hell. Park avenue in New York is always a log-jam during working days. That's why the rail substitutes it. Even at that, many people that will drive dread the traffic.

New Jersey is another horrible place traffic-wise. Currently some road constructions is going on, the mammoth bridge is being reworked........

Joburg with their modest population and one of the best road/infrastructure networks in the world, faces the challenge of traffic at rush hours

In summary, traffic is one hell of a headache for cosmopolitan cities. Even with rail system available, it's something that will require management all for a long time.

Some also attempted to use this yesterday for cheap political points. But the difference is that a responsible leadership apologises and neutralises the bad blood before it even flows into the public domain.

What makes a great man is not what happens to him, but rather, his reaction to things that happen to him. If GEJ had sensible advisers, most of the things he was criticised for could have been spun around to his benefit.

Every leader causes traffic gridlock when they come into town, but this is the first time in my life I'm hearing of a Nigerian leader apologise for this inevitability; it's clearly a case of maturity.
