Vice President Yemi Osinbajo outlines government efforts at tackling ethno-religious crisis in Nigeria
A few weeks ago, during the unfortunate incident that led to a crisis in Shasha area of Oyo State, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, delivered a powerful statement on the essence of unity and justice in society.
According to him, “Shasha market has been a melting pot for traders bringing foodstuff from the North to the Southwest for decades. Traders from the North have done business with their brothers from the Southwest and they have lived in peace and even inter-married. Shasha represents unity.”
The VP continued, “So when a disagreement arises between individuals or a criminal act is committed by one against the other we must ensure that we see it for what it is, a criminal act, which must be punished according to law. Not an ethnic conflict. Every Nigerian has a constitutional right to live, work and enjoy their lives in safety, peace under the law.”
All the APC governors in the South West and Edo state graced the ceremony.
They include the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo- Olu, Ogun, Prince Dapo Abiodun, Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi and Osun, Gboyega Oyetola
