Osinbajo
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo dropped a bombshell on Saturday when he said that the three arms of government in Nigeria are corruption.
The executive,judicial and legislative
arms are all corrupt , the Nation quoted him as saying as he presided over the
4th convocation ceremonies of the Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti.
Osinbajo said it was for this reason that the Buhari administration is currently fighting corruption in the country.
He said corruption has polluted every stratum of the society, bringing along with it poverty and other social vices.
“All the institutions of government, I
mean the executive, legislature and the judiciary are corrupt. What we
need is serious reorientation,” he said.
“That is why the ABUAD is a great
university because it teaches learning, character and morality. So,
value reorientation is a key weapon to fight corruption.
“That was why the present federal
government is intervening because if we refuse, every facet of the
country will fail. We must act fast and deal with the situation as
quickly as possible.”
“I have great respect for Chief Afe
Babalola because of his stand against corruption. Sometimes in 2001,
Chief Babalola argued the case for the establishment of the Independent
Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) where he
let the court realized that corruption is the greatest problem of our
nation.”
Osinbajo urged the graduands to learn skills that will enhance their value and also develop and maintain integrity.
