The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday, blamed government’s inability to deliver on its promises on socio-political inequality, weak justice system, absence of rule of law and lack of state capacity to maintain law and order.
He also expressed frustrations at the inability of anti-graft agencies to secure convictions for the many suspects brought before the courts for corruption due to the manipulative tendencies of the elite class.
Osinbajo spoke as Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Fr. Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, said the problems plaguing the nation’s democracy will not disappear with the removal of President Muhammadu Buhari from office.


The duo made their separate remarks at a public lecture organised by The Kukah Centre in Abuja yesterday, with the theme: “How to make Democracy Work for Africa.”
Osinbajo, who noted that people expected those charged with governance to deliver on their promises, including delivering social goods, ensuring that the growing youth population got jobs, ensuring the rule of law and security, lamented that despite several suspects charged with corruption by anti-graft agencies in the country, convictions are yet to be secured.


According to him, convictions have not been achieved due to the manipulation of suspects who are mainly elites.
Osinbajo said people could be put on trial but the trials could go on forever because the system enables people to employ diverse legal tactics to delay conviction.
Accordingly, he said the elite preferred the
status quo which set the lowest bar for political advancement, being “identity politics” of where one comes from or which religion one belongs.

He said the elite follow the path of such division to analyse real development issues, thus diminishing the real issues concerning the people such as good governance, job creation, poverty alleviation, peace and security.
The African problem
The Vice President said: “That is the Africa story; democracy, yes; election yes. These are issues that remain very prominent everywhere in Africa.
“It is often threatened because we simply have not invested enough in the institutions that make this possible. So, ensuring security, problems of weak policing are some of the issues that we experience.

“The perception of people on the efficiency and fairness of the justice system is affected always by the slow pace of trials and manipulation of the system by those who can afford superior legal representation.
“Many of the ethnic and other parochial tensions that tended to create insecurity and outright conflict, time and time again, are largely on account of failure to deliberately undertake nation-building efforts.
“But the question of the capacity of the state to deliver on its most important role of security, justice and rule of law is often threatened because we have not invested enough in institutions that make it possible,” Osinbajo said.

This double mouthed short deceitful imp should shut up. does he think we believed him and his lying party in the first place. he should be telling this to his zombies not sane Nigerians

APC is a failed political party. No ideology to govern. Failed promises.

We know tey tey... The question now, can we endure till 2023 C.E?

Justifying failure in a public space is a show of incompetence in full glare.

And some uninformed m.u.mus here on nairaland are canvassing for you to be President.

May be to fulfill past promises on future impossible tense.

No shit sherlock

APC is a failed political party.

The pastor continued the blame game... smh

Osibanjo is not qualified to contest for President with this statement. We can’t reinforce failure.

See failed Government

Osinbade is a miniature but huge disappointment.

Resign!

This statement is self indicting as an acknowledgement of failure.Guess this the same so called star boy our brethren on the other side of political divide said will replace the disaster Nigeria have on seat today? Nigeria can not afford another recycling of this failures.Restructuring!

Racoon:
Blame game no dey tire una?

Not at all

Then what is stopping you from resigning from the clueless government if you are not also clueless?

Story for the gods #SFTG

Failure personified!!!

Osibanjo is just a disgrace and a disappointmemt to the Christian community, the academic community and the legal community.

Yet some urchins are canvassing for him to be president.

Nonsense and ingredients.

OAUTemitayo:
Misrepresentation of fact by a dubious OP again

[/s] zombie, what do you mean? They Can No Longer Deliver On fake Promises. Thieves and liars.

I used to rate Prof. Yemi Osinbajo in high esteem before he became Buhari's vice.

I don't know exactly what happened but it feels like anyone who associates with PMB automatically loses their intellect.

The prof made some valid points, but PDP Dundees are calling it blame game as if he wasn't saying what we already know.

today he says apc has failed tomorrow lai mohammed will tell you Buhari has delivered, how shameless can they get.
