IT’S A CELEBRATION OF DEMOCRACY, SAYS OSINBAJO AT KENYA’S PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION


The inauguration of Dr. William Ruto as Kenya’s 5th President is a celebration of democracy and democratic institutions in Africa, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.


Prof. Osinbajo stated this on Tuesday while speaking to journalists shortly after the swearing-in ceremony held at the Moi International Sports Stadium in Nairobi.


Earlier on arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, Prof. Osinbajo was received by the former Governor of Kwale County, Hon. Salim Mvurya, and Nigeria's High Commissioner to Kenya, Amb. Yusuf Yunusa, among other officials of the High Commission.


Speaking about the significance of President Ruto’s inauguration, the Vice President said “it is a celebration of democracy and the reasons are obvious, the institutions held up - the IEBC (Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission), the equivalent of our own INEC, and the Judiciary; they held up and ensured that not only were processes properly followed but also that justice was done.”

Speaking further, the VP said, “whenever we talk about the celebration of democracy, we are really talking about the celebration of our institutions, the institutions that undergird democracy and the rule of law.”

“I think that what we have seen here in Kenya and the swearing-in of Dr. William Ruto is really evidence of robust institutions doing what they ought to do.


“It is a great example and we are all extremely pleased. And I’m sure you have seen, from all of the African Heads of State and Governments and their representatives who are present here today, that there is an atmosphere of elation and joy because this worked,” Prof. Osinbajo added.

The high point of the occasion was the oath-taking ceremonies by the newly elected President and his deputy - Rigathi Gachagua, as well as the handover of instruments of power and a copy of Kenya's Constitution from former President Uhuru Kenyatta to Dr Ruto.

The ceremony was attended by 20 African Heads of State and Government and their representatives, including the Presidents of South Africa - Cyril Ramaphosa, Chad - Mahamat Idriss Déby, Tanzania - Samia Suluhu, Seychelles - Wavel Ramkalawan, Uganda - Yoweri Museveni, Rwanda - Paul Kagame, South Sudan - Salva Kiir, Burundi - Évariste Ndayishimiye, Zimbabwe - Emmerson Mnangagwa, and Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo, among others.

With all these great accolades the delegates still went and vote for incompetent just because of the money ,honestly Nigeria has miss it in a big form for not allowing Osinbajo to emerge as a APC presidential candidate

The federal government had demonstrated tangible commitment to the conduct of the 2023 Population and Housing Census as evidenced in the provision of funds for the implementation of important preliminary activities and that's a welcome development or idea

I doubt this story and if it's true then the protest is political because why the placards that shows the picture of Sunday Igboho ,they should have done it in a proper manner

Osinbajo visits to US has open our eyes to many opportunities and we will derive more as time goes on

The government both state and federal should engage more in Agriculture to ease the high price in food chain

This is very good as it allows portions of a developing country's foreign debt to be forgiven, in exchange for commitments to invest in biodiversity conservation and environmental policy measures

It was an interesting thing seen his counterpart from African who has the same idea in making things work

Due to low domestic saving rates, African countries have had to resort to borrowing from a variety of sources, including international debt markets (Eurobond issuances), domestic markets, multilateral institutions, and Paris and non-Paris Club countries to support the growing and this we help a lot to achieve our aims

Osinbajo is making us proud for the betterment of his people, the energy transition is a huge program that will benefit to all and sundry
#OsinbajoInUS
#EnergyTransition

Thank God for safe trip, we expect a positive result at the end

This should be junk

Thank God for having a good leader like Osinbajo who always thinking of how to make Nigeria great and to partake in Energy Transition Plan which is the vital in nation building, safe trip sir

The Oracle has spoken and there will be a solution to ASUU strike and economy soon

In a high-powered move, governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, mobilised themselves to Abuja, where they held a closed-door meeting with the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN, in his office at the Presidential Villa.

This will be the first time the governors would be visiting the VP after his loss at the APC presidential primary election which was held at Eagle Square in Abuja, on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, even after he was admitted and discharged from hospital over a medical procedure performed on his thigh.

As things stand, the unannounced visit of the governors may be a move to further rally support for the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, whose Muslim-Muslim ticket, has not only been severely criticised by the Nigerian Christian community led by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), it has also caused division within the party, creating a clear dichotomy between those who either stand for or against the same faith arrangement.

Recalled that APC presidential candidate, Tinubu, who is a Muslim, on July 10, 2022, chose a fellow Muslim, Kashim Shettima as his running mate, a decision which has been widely criticised as being insensitive to the Nigerian current national security challenges, which it was said required for religious-balance in the country’s presidential arrangement.

But while Tinubu said his decision was a winning formula and not to disparage the Christian community, the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) have condemned the decision, while mobilising their members not to accept the formation.

Similarly, a coalition of Northern Christian leaders, Bishop of Calabar, Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev Nneoji Egbe, the Christian wing of the APC, and even the Middle-Belt Youths have publicly spoken against Tinubu’s same faith ticket, which they faulted as a further threat to the battered national security.

However, the spokesperson of the VP, Laolu Akande, in a statement released after the meeting held with his principal said the governors visited his principal in his office at the Presidential Villa “on a felicitation visit as he recovers from the surgery done last month.”

He said while welcoming the Governors, Prof Osinbajo expressed his appreciation for the visit and the good wishes.

In his statement, Akande said: “The VP also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors and the availability of cutting-edge medical facilities existing in the country. But he regretted that doctors are restrained by regulations from advertising and as a result, many people are unaware of the level of quality medical services available locally.

“During the brief interaction that followed at the meeting, important national issues were also raised especially regarding the economy and the ASUU strike.

“The Vice President and the Governors then agreed to engage these and other pressing issues further with a view to bringing urgent resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.”

Akande said the Vice President charged the governors that “we all need to work together on these critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast.”

The governors who visited Osinbajo include, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State; Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Simon Lalong of Plateau State; Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State; Muhammad Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State; Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara; Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State; Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State; Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, and the deputy governor of Ebonyi State, Kelechi Igwe.

I know from the onset that the meeting with progressive governors is for the betterment and the progress of our dear nation, honestly speaking Osinbajo always wanting a good things happen to Nigerians

Hmmmmmmmm, something just came to my mind now

What Osinbajo was saying is the GDPs that's vast spreading and not geographical size

God1000:
There's no need for comparison here, Brazil, Australia and Canada are extremely big as well but we don't see much violence in those countries.

The size of Brazil is about 8.516 million km², Australia 7.688 million km² and Canada 9.985 million km²

Nigeria is just about 923,768 km²

His party has failed nigerians

Osinbajo should stop defending the indefensible, I still like him

Those countries you mentioned are developed countries for so many years and they took their independent for many years ago while Nigeria is developing country and still grow so stop the comparison

The size of the country determines the complexity of her economy and her mass land as well, Nigeria is fast expanding compare to some African countries which have 1/3 of the Nigeria population
