Professor Yemi Osinbajo has vowed to resign as Nigeria’s vice president, if there is any religious connotation to the incessant killings by suspected herdsmen in Benue and other parts of the country.
According to Independent, the nation’s number two citizen also said if he and President Muhammadu Buhari fail to handle the crisis, he would resign.

NAIJ.com gathers that Osinbajo’s comments were in reaction to statements made by indigenes of Benue state, during the stakeholders’ meeting which took place on Wednesday, May 16, at the Banquet hall of the Benue People’s House, Makurdi.
In particular, Osinbajo was reacting to the speech by Bishop William Avenya of the Gboko dioceses of the Catholic Church, who said God would hold the vice president responsible, if he fails to act.
The vice president also said the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) government will prove there is no agenda to Islamise the nation; and that it would do so by protecting the people of the state from further attacks, and rebuilding the waste places.
He stated: “As a matter of fact, I’m also a priest and I’m a Christian, a born again Christian. Because I’m a born again Christian, my destiny is not determined by any man but by God whom I serve.
“Let me assure you that under no circumstance, none whatsoever, will I give up my faith or refuse to stand up for my faith. You can take that to the bank.
“Even the position that I currently occupy, I did not ask for it and I’m prepared to leave (resign) it at a short notice. It doesn’t mean anything (to me).”
Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo denied claims that the killings in Benue were the outcome of a planned agenda to eliminate the people.
He said the anger and disappointment expressed by the people of Benue was right and justified; but assured them that the federal government was committed to providing security for their protection.

VP Osinbajo is a disgrace to christainhood.He should just close his mouth abeg.

the beheading of your sister in Christ nko?

Story

It's part of his job to cover up for his boss. I jez pity this man called "OSHI"......... banjo.

So help u god!

I've been following politics in Nigeria since 1999. The only Nigerian who has resigned from a position not because they want to further their political career but she felt belittled is Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Under Babalola Borisade as Aviation Minister, Nigeria witnessed three major passenger airplane crashes. He was under pressure to resign, he swore never to resign and never did. Since then I made a decision.

I dare say that no Nigerian can ever resign from their position on the account of poor performance. The African man is cursed

Mtccheeeeeeeeeeeeew

Even the position that I currently occupy, I did not ask for it and I’m prepared to leave (resign) it at a short notice. It doesn’t mean anything (to me).”


U shouldn't have collected it at the first place

Able VP, should not bother about what those jobless lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra party PDP are saying.

Paperwhite:

even those idiotic pigs of Biafra that are just a mere Churchgoers or does not even go to church,but be drinking beer and womanizing upandan will still be claiming Christians.

So you expect us to believe you right?

I respect you sir, but if you truly mean what you said, you should have resigned like yesterday.

No religious undertone yet more Christians has dies in this genocide mission by Boko Haram Herdsmen from Kaduna to Benue states. Yet the empty led government of Buhari is asking Nigerians to be their brothers keeper and welcome killer herdsmen. The next day he say they are from Libya. At the other end the IG is ranting is a communal crashes among fellow Nigerians therefore he refused to weight in and opening disobeyed Mr. president. The army did not help matters as they and the minister of Agric are busy pushing for "cattle colony" for killers. The worst of it all came from MURIC leadership after they said the killing will not stop until state lift the ban on open grazing law. Ladies and gentlemen, this is how innocent people men, women and children are murdered in cold blood on daily bases. And majority of those victims are either Christians or non Hausas the targets are Christians that is why in the North East Nigeria you barely see a church building that is standing they have destroyed them all yet the mosques are untouched. Until they end attacks on Christians and release kidnapped Christian girl. I don't blame Osinbajo, he is receiving full salary.

I QUITE AGREE WITH YOU

All this is because Catholics are planning nationwide peaceful demonstration coming Tuesday.

APC scammers!

No the killings have religious OVERTONE which is why he has not resigned.Self deceit is the worst of its kind.

His words come across, when he makes speeches, as if there is no meaning we should take serious with them.

As if somewhere before they proceeded from his mouth, they lost real meaning.

Must killing have religious undertone before you act Osinbanjo?..Is it till they Kill and Behead the Bishop of Makurdi and Lafia Diocese you will know it has religious undertone ? Can Osinbanjo tell us what undertone a killing must have to accepted by him as okay ? I am not getting these people because Osinbanjo is sounding like some killings are more acceptable that others .

Trump's warning, d beginning of wisdom. Hehehehehehe. Catholics will still protest again. Dis time every Christian will join. Let me see how dy will use police to gear gas them hehehehehehe

Fake pastor.
Another overrated ordinary fellow that propaganda deceived us with.

Osinbajo has become a disgraceful pastor.
See how he is desperately trying to give every reason to continue worldly things while his Christian brethren are slaughtered in droves by jihadists.

This bloody fool called Yemi Osinbanjoke knew that the herdsmen killings have ethnical undertone yet did not quit. Ethnic cleansing is worse than religious massacre.

we know it is PDP's trait to annihilate,forge,deceive and destroy. Ask victims of boko haram that Pi Di Pi promoted by stealing defence budgets.

Well if after listening to the bitter complaints and wailing of the people of Benue and you still believe there is no ethno-religious angle to the genocide been perpetrated by herdsman in the Middle belt.....Even after they hammered it to you hearing in your presence there in Benue....Then i put it to you sir that you are a fake pastor

I am not surprised though...I already knew you sold your soul to the caliphate and never a servant of the most high...

Can you really belong to a lodge(i can name your members if you want sir) bowing to Lucifer and still call yourself a pastor??

Nonetheless, God is about to tear your evil government apart and not even you will be spared.....You can as well take that to bank too...
