"a good leader should be able to handle ethnic diversities through equity, justice and fairness"- Prof Yemi Osinbajo
"a good leader should be able to handle ethnic diversities through equity, justice and fairness"- Prof Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s Vice President, during a convocation ceremony at Sokoto State University on Friday in Sokoto. (source: PT).
How you wish he can lead the translation for our leaders to lead on those tenets he has masterfully articulated on words! Certainly, Mr. Vice President should note that Mazi Prof MN Ogbonna, eminent UNN professor of Economics, the elder and leader of my village, will not be the one that would bring those changes, at the national level. This duty falls on our VP and his boss, President Buhari!
Walk the talk....action now Mr. Vice President.

In other words, Buhari is not a good leader, since the VP is still regurgitating and enumerating qualities his boss doesn't have. The challenge here is that between the president and vice president, one talks a lot while the other doesn't hear anything at all; that's the size of calamity currently drowning Nigeria and Nigerians.
The man Osinbajo has been talking, but he keeps sounding like a journalist or public affairs commentator, and not the Vice President; one is tempted to ask if he has forgotten that he's the VP of the Federal Republic.
This was how Aisha the president's wife was talking here and there, as if she doesn't have access to the man up there, until she lost her voice, then got bored and left the country entirely.
Expect Garuba Shehu and Adesina to come forward and lecture us on what the VP wanted to say, but got misquoted, because the rest of Nigerians weren't trained to comprehend a speech at first instance.
All the people that championed this disaster we call leadership need to pay for their misjudgement and mischief, including those readying to present themselves for elections soon; we will never forget.
