TheRareGem1:
Let me list some instances especially when he was Acting President. Some achievements some what he did. Actionable

(i) He sacked the then DSS DG, Lawal Daura, for simply blocking the National Assembly gate. No President in Nigeria has taken such an audacious decision.

2. He commanded Service Chiefs (Buratai and Co) to relocate to Borno to fight Boko Haram, the next day they were all there. They know he is a no nonsense man.

3. He paid unscheduled/unannounced visit to the Lagos airport after hearing reports of how bad the place was. 10 directors were sacked.

4. He also stabilised the naira against the dollar.

5. He ensured that Nigeria's Ease of Doing Business ranking improved by ensuring that Business Names can be done online, making sure that MSMEs interfaced directly with MDAs, etc.

6. He initiated Nigeria and Africa's largest social safety net programme winning global awards and recognition. N-Power, Conditional Cash Transfer, TraderMoni, etc.

7. He is internationally respected not only for his oratory but his marketing prowess. Do you remember how he visited Silicon Valley and Hollywood to market the tech and movie sector? Google, Facebook, Huawei all invested in Nigerian setups and opened offices here.

8. In his time as Acting President, he saved hundreds of thousands of Nigerians when he cut all middlemen to ensure starving Nigerians in the Northeast got food. He invoked the Emergency BPE Act to make this happen.

9. He has swift response to issues despite the insult hurled at him. The latest being the Kaduna Train Attack. He boycotted Tinubu’s colloquium for Kaduna where he visited two hospitals.

10. During his time as Acting President there was relative peace because he travelled round Nigeria starting from the Niger Delta where he encouraged them to stop bombing pipeline installations but rather invest in modular refineries. He assured them of Ogoni Clean Up, etc. He commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Civil War where he admitted that Nigeria has still not responded to the yearnings of the South East.

11. He has respect for Rule of Law. As Acting President, he appointed Onnoghen despite Cabal threats and warnings. Secondly, it was during this time that Nnamdi Kanu secured bail. Zakzaky nko?

I can go on and on about this man. Unfortunately, everything he does is for the people and it is still the people that insult him the most. EndSARS nko? He was the one that took the then IGP to the President and recommended the disbandment of SARS. He also apologised to Nigerians before telling state governments to set up Judicial Panel of Inquiry to compensate victims and punish all erring policemen.

Should I go on?

Osinbajo is appreciated for his good deeds

May God see him through

2023: WHY ACADEMICS, PROFESSIONALS MUST PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY IN ELECTIONEERING, BY OSINBAJO

*Top Academics across the country endorse VP, offer support

Ahead of the 2023 Presidential Elections, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has called on academics and members of other professional bodies to participate actively in the task of making Nigeria a better place for all.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this yesterday when he received, on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa, a team of 13 professors who came to endorse and support his presidential aspiration (with representation from the six geo-political zones) under the aegis of the Progressive Intellectuals Advisory Group.

According to the Vice President, “these days, you find all sorts of pretenders claiming expertise in everything under the sun without any real expertise. So, it is important that academics do not vacate that space to allow all sorts of people to begin to postulate on practically every issue.”

Recalling his experience as an academic who became an Attorney-General, the VP said “one of the most important things I recall when I served first as Attorney General of Lagos State was that it is so important for those of us who are in academics to participate because not only are we among the more knowledgeable groups, we have also done more work.”

Continuing, the VP, while welcoming the interest of the professors in the upcoming 2023 Presidential Elections, noted that "the path that you (the group) have chosen is a very crucial one because in the future, more intellectual groups will take the responsibility that is really theirs. And I think that for those of us who are from the academic community, it is a privilege that we have - being the intellectual crème de la crème of our society, and this comes with responsibility.”

He appreciated the group’s endorsement of his presidential aspiration and observed that “if there is any sort of endorsement that has given me particular joy, it is this one; because if one is endorsed by professional colleagues, people who live their lives by critical analysis and evaluation; it is worth celebrating.

“These matters are not to be taken lightly. For a professor to say that he supports a political cause, it is a weighty matter indeed, because you are aware that a lot of reflections go into it.

“But when you have 13 professors all over the country saying that they are aligned to one cause; I am greatly humbled. It is one of those things that doesn’t happen often.”

While expressing appreciation, the VP expressed hoped that "we will work together to make a significant difference for our country."

Earlier in his remarks, the leader of the group, Prof. Shehu Adamu, the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN, said the visit was to intimate the VP on activities and efforts of the group to support his aspiration to become Nigeria’s President.

He said the academics were convinced of the VP’s capability to lead a more prosperous Nigeria, hence their resolve not only to endorse him, but also offer their expertise and do what it takes to ensure that the VP emerges victorious.

Prof. Adamu said the group will engage in activities, including media engagements, community mobilization, and partnerships with other professionals, among others, to shape public opinion in a manner that will lead to a successful run by the VP in 2023.

Another member of the delegation, Prof. Nasiru Musa Yauri, the Vice Chancellor of the Al-Kalam University, Katsina said of the group: "We have decided we will not fold our arms; we will do whatever it takes to actualise the PYO 2023 project."

In a similar vein, Prof. Chukwuemeka Jaja Nwanegbo, the Head of Political Science Department, Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State, declared that members of the academic community "don't want to sit back and watch the political terrain disallow you from emerging. So, we want to work with you, other professionals and students to actualise your bid."

Besides Professors Adamu, Yauri and Nwanegbo, the other academics at the meeting included Prof. Yahya T. Baba, Usman Danfodiyo University in Sokoto; Prof. Mashood Omotosho, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife; Associate Prof. Philips Okolo, Director of the Institute of Peace and Security Studies, Niger Delta University; Prof. Shola Omotola, Federal University Oye Ekiti; Prof. Sheikh Danjuma Abubakar, IBB University, Lapai; Associate Prof. Abdullahi Jibrin, Federal University Lafia; Associate Prof. Atelhe George, University of Calabar; Prof. Saleh Mohammed, Federal University Kashere, Gombe State; Prof. Haruna Lawal Modibbo Adama, University of Yola; and Prof. Ike-Elechi Ogba, Ebonyi State University.

*Envoy briefs VP on next UN meeting on Climate Change to hold in Egypt

The move by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to reform its system as part of efforts to mend relations with African countries is a welcome development, and a crucial moment for the continent, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this Tuesday when he received on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mr Karim Khan, who is visiting the country.

Prof. Osinbajo noted that it is important to create a system that builds relationships and credibility among member states, “creating a sense that everyone can be treated fairly.”

Commending the Court for making the bold move, the VP said “the steps that you are taking are very crucial. For Nigeria, you will get all the cooperation, and at the end of the day, people must feel that the system is just and fair to all.”

Earlier in his remarks, the visiting ICC Prosecutor, Mr Khan expressed excitement at the visit, noting that “it comes at a critical time in the history of the continent,” acknowledging Nigeria’s role in Africa.

Khan explained that the Court, through the proposed roadmap for reforms, would assist African countries achieve justice, applying the principle of complementarity.

He pledged the commitment of the Court to work with local authorities to encourage domestic jurisdictions to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of core international crimes.

Aside ICC officials on the entourage of the Prosecutor, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, and Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Netherlands, Amb. Eniola Ajayi, were present at the meeting.

Earlier, the Vice President received the Egyptian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Ihab Awad who came to brief him on the next meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to be hosted in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt later in November this year.

In his remarks, Prof. Osinbajo noted that with the meeting holding in Africa, leaders in the continent should ensure that the converstions on Climate Change go the way "we want it to go," adding that "our developmental challenges are as existential as the Climate Change concern itself."
