That is,your level of understanding

Pls God don't allow Osinbajo to disappoint Nigeria for not contesting ,we are all praying for him vehemently so that he can contest

Baawaa:
Osinbajo is not ready

Over ready self ,just wait and see

A group, the Plateau Friends of Osinbajo, has called on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to contest for the Presidency in 2023.

The group made the call on Saturday in Jos in a communique at the end of a town hall meeting with the theme; ‘Beyond Partisan Politics: Towards A Working Nigeria’.

The communique signed by Mr Tony Ngwen, Convener, Plateau Friends of Osinbajo, said the call was in furtherance of the advocacy for good governance in Nigeria.

“The call on Prof. Yemi Osinbajo who is popularly known as the ‘’Star Boy’’ is predicated on his sterling leadership qualities.

“This is evidenced by his record of performance especially with the social intervention programmes which have impacted the lives of many Nigerians in tremendous proportions.

“He has demonstrated uncommon competence, character, courage, credibility and compassion in discharging his responsibilities and duties as Chairman of the National Economic Council.

“He is no doubt a bridge builder and an embodiment of national unity.

“From the foregoing, we are calling on Nigerians in the north, south, east and west and from all works of life to join the legion of progressives in our quest for a functional and effective presidency,” he said.

Prof Audu Gambo, Vice Chancellor, Karlkum University Vom, in an address commended the group for the constructive engagement towards shaping the choices of the people for 2023.
Gambo stated that leaders should not be chosen by partisan factor but the persons capacity and capability.

He said that Nigeria was left behind in the comity of developed nations because of bad leadership because leaders were chosen or elected based on political parties affiliation.

“For we have not joined the comity of developed nations is not because of lack of resources but lack of strategic and visionary leadership.

“Singapore for example, does not have the resources that we have but is one of the most developed countries in the world because of strategic leadership.

“The capacity, competence and promises of a leader should be the main consideration,” he stated.

He added that as Nigeria approaches another election year, voters should do critical background checks about candidates before supporting them.

According to him, only with thorough background checks that people with capacity for national transformation would be identified and be trusted with political power.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

VP attends Awards dinner in honour of Nigerian National Order of Merit laureates

Adds: We must choose the best of us irrespective of any sectional, sectarian considerations

Nigeria has tremendous human capital and talents across all its region, and we must ensure that we provide opportunities on a mass scale to enable all of our citizens actualize their highest potential.

These were the words of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, at the Nigerian National Merit Award (NNMA) Dinner held on Tuesday at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

Prof. Osinbajo spoke at the event organized in honour of the 2020 and 2021 Nigerian National Order of Merit (NNOM) recipients – Prof. Olayinka Olurotimi Olutoye and late Prof. Charles Ejike Chidume (2020); and Prof. Godwin Osakpemwoye Samuel Ekhaguere (2021).

The three distinguished Nigerians had earlier been conferred the prestigious Nigerian National Order of Merit (NNOM) award by President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday.

The event was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While Dr Olutoye was honoured for his unique contributions in the field of fetal surgery, Prof. Ekhaguere was awarded for pioneering new approaches in the branch of Mathematical Physics known as Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory; and Prof. Chidume was honoured posthumously for his outstanding contributions in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering.

Speaking at the Awards dinner, Prof. Osinbajo was of the view that the idea of merit and representation (by regions) are not mutually exclusive concepts, because “the Nigerian genius for achievement” can be found nationwide.

“Often in our national discourse, we tend to juxtapose the idea of merit with that of representation as though they are mutually exclusive concepts and it is suggested that there is an inherently natural disparity in the geographical distribution of talent.

"Yet what the distinguished array of laureates from all over our country that have been assembled over the years shows us is that the Nigerian genius for achievement can be found in every corner of our country," he said.

The VP stated that opportunities must be provided on a mass scale to enable "all of our citizens actualize their highest potential."

Emphasizing on Nigeria’s human capital potential and the need to pay more attention to the education of the girl-child, the VP stated that “in so doing, we will renew our pantheon of world-beating achievers in every generation and continually rediscover the human capital for perpetual national growth.”

In the same vein, the Vice President noted that the Awards’ representation over the years was a telling reminder of the need to pick Nigeria’s ‘first eleven’ for national tasks, irrespective of federal quota, tribe or religion.

According to him, the glittering cast of Nigerians that have received this Award over the past four decades was reflected more, not only by the variety of achievement, but also by their diversity of origin.

“The Award selection process is entirely indifferent to the confessional persuasions, ethnic origins or partisan allegiances of the recipients. It is sensitive only to the rarity and quality of their accomplishments,” he said.

This is the more reason why the VP emphasized the essence of rewarding hard work and talent, rather than sentiments and favouritism, in public service and every area of national life, in order to build a more advanced nation.

“Today’s awardees and their predecessors represent the zenith of accomplishment; their exploits tell us what we are truly capable of as a people, and the heights to which we would soar if we would set ourselves free from the gravitational pull of parochialism and prejudice,” he stated.

Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo noted that, “If the pantheon of Order of Merit laureates reflects a representative meritocracy, is it not possible to apply the same standards in selecting those that we choose for leadership at all levels? Democracy grants us, not only the right to freely choose our leaders, but the opportunity to choose the best of us irrespective of any sectional or sectarian considerations.

“If we are to truly make their standards of accomplishment a mainstream phenomenon and our defining national trait, then we must apply the same principles that informed their selection in recruiting those that will represent this nation in every endeavour, whether it is in sports or the public service.”

Congratulating the Award Laureates and their families, as well as the Chairman and members of NNMA Governing Board and associates, the Vice President during his speech also recognized some past NNOM laureates present at yesterday’s event.

They included Prof. Augustine M.O. Esogbue (2006 NNOM Award Recipient in Engineering/Technology); Prof. Oye Gureje (2008 NNOM Recipient in Medicine); and Prof. Samuel Chukwunonyerem Ohaegbulam (2012 NNOM Award Recipient in Medicine).

Also speaking, the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume, congratulated the Awards Laureates for their overall economic, scientific and technological contributions to the nation’s development.

In his remarks, the Chairman, Governing Board of the Awards, Prof. Shekarau Yakubu Abu, said the Awards recipients have done exceptionally well in their various fields of endeavour.

“The awards are in recognition of Nigerians who have made national and global impact in their various fields. We are very proud of their outstanding contribution to knowledge, to the development of our nation and the world at large,” he stated.

Prof. Ekhaguere was present at the Awards dinner, while Prof. Olutoye was represented by his brother, Air Commodore Dr Olufemi Olutoye Jnr (retd.); and late Prof. Chidume was represented by his son, Mr. Okechukwu Chidume.
