Osinbajo: Nigeria’s Challenges Are Stepping Stones to Greater Future
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo Sunday described Nigeria’s current challenges, including security and economic issues, among others as stepping stones to greater future.
Osinbajo who spoke in Owerri, Imo State, during a special interdenominational thanksgiving service by Governor Hope Uzodimma said that despite the challenges, Nigerians would be the grace of Good surmount them.
He said, “Despite the challenges our nation faces, by the grace of God, we, the Nigerian people, are more than able to surmount them. So, I say to you, people of Imo and the great people of Nigeria; yes, we have work to do, yes we have much to repair, but we are undaunted. The problems we see today are the stepping stones to our great future. We are, by the grace of God, mightier than our challenges.”
The VP who noted the strides so far recorded by Governor Uzodinma told him to concentrate on delivering quality leadership to the people of the state.
Identifying three possible forms of opposition to the government as political opposition, time and discouragement or distraction by the leader, he said the leader must be focused.
“How you deal with time and political opposition will determine success or failure. Don’t look back. Keep focused. Stay on track.
“Time and chance happen to them all. And the Almighty God controls time and chance. So you are here today by the Grace of God. And so, my brother, life is a loan and public office is a loan of even shorter tenor.”
“Morning shows the day, and you have started well. I am aware that over the past year, your administration has invested extensively in construction and rehabilitation of physical infrastructure, the rehabilitation of educational and health institutions, as well as markets.”
