Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday made a case for a world with fairness.

According to a statement by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, the Vice President spoke a virtual forum organised by an American Christian university, Liberty University, with the theme, ‘Equity for Africa: Transforming the world through Judeo-Christian values,’ and hosted by the university’s School of Business.

Akande’s statement was titled, ‘Osinbajo to world leaders: End unfair burdens on developing countries.’

The statement quoted Osinbajo as saying, “The principle of fairness obliges us, as people of faith, to strive to build a fairer world, a world which takes account of the interests of the poor and marginalised.

“For example, if you look at what is happening with COVID-19 and access to vaccines, what we are seeing is export bans and a resort to vaccine nationalism.”

He added that Christian leaders must lead the world towards ensuring that all countries and their peoples could access vaccines irrespective of the resources available to them.


The same considerations, he said, applied to helping African countries cope with the economic crisis caused by COVID-19.

The Vice President said investing in Nigeria offered a pathway to partaking in the African Continental Free Trade Area which would create a market in goods and services for up to 1.3 billion people.

Citing example of some investments, the Vice President said, “Dangote Group is building a 650,000 barrel a day refinery while the BUA Group has also initiated an investment in 200,000 barrel a day refinery. In the same vein, Azura, Transcorp and several other power companies have made large and significant investments.”

I agree totally with the VP. The world is ravaged and playing politics with the vaccines is the last thing any country can do right now, this will be bad and casualty will be recorded in especially the vulnerable countries.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says leaders must apply the principle of fairness in addressing challenges in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine.

The health of people should not be politicized, fairness is truly needed

Osinbajo was trying to say “Christian leaders must lead the world towards ensuring that all countries and their peoples can access vaccines irrespective of the resources available to them".

Some day, Africa will rise.

In the first place, it is not the joy of the western world that the black continent experienced low casualty as a result of the Covid pandemic. Murky politics around vaccine distribution is outrightly expected but God dey!

The Vice president only calls for the principle of fairness in the distribution of the vaccines. And the world powers should take care of the interests of the poor nations.That poor countries should have access to vaccines but what we are seeing is export bans and a resort to vaccine nationalism.

I totally agreed with the Vice President where he said and I quote: " Christian leaders must lead the world towards ensuring that all countries and their peoples could access vaccines irrespective of the resources available to them. God bless Osinbajo, God bless Nigeria

The developed countries of the World should not punish the developing countries at this critical time.
We are one united nations

There is no any place VP Osinbajo said so in his speech, I don't know where you guys got this from. This is Fake and misleading Osinbajo didn't said so .

Every individuals in the world is entitled to the vaccine, so developed countries should stop maltreating the developing countries. There must be fairness.

What is the usefulness of the Muslim leaders?

The vice president Yemi Osinbajo was saying that Christian leaders must lead the world towards ensuring that all countries and their peoples could access vaccines irrespective of the resources available to them.

Vice President Osinbajo once said that Christian leaders must lead the world towards ensuring that all countries and their peoples could access vaccines irrespective of the resources available to them.

Always speaking for the people. God bless my Vice President, Osinbajo for us
