Now Is Time To Discuss Issues Dividing Nigeria — Osinbajo

The 2023 Presidential aspirant and current Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has said now is the time to have a serious discussion on issues causing division in Nigeria.

Osinbajo, who spoke during the public presentation of Dr. Yemi Ogunbiyi’s memoir in Lagos said he believes this would find lasting solutions and also chart the way forward towards building a better and more united nation.

On the significance of the book and the lessons, Osinbajo noted that citizens need to talk “more to ourselves not at ourselves”.

“We need frank discussions on the issues that divide us, we need openness about our fears and prejudices. Perhaps, that way we may gain each other’s confidence”, he said.

Osinbajo described Ogunbiyi, who clocked 75, as a brilliant university teacher, newspaper executive, debonair, connoisseur of wine and collector of fine art.

In attendance were Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, Ogun and Ekiti Governors, Dapo Abiodun and Kayode Fayemi, ex-Ogun and Osun Governors, Segun Osoba and Rauf Aregbesola, others
