Osinbajo who fielded questions from various labour and professional
organisations as well as individuals at the meeting held at the Ikeja Airport
Hotel, said “the era of people becoming emergency billionaires is gone” and
would no longer be tolerated by the Buhari-led administration.
“Anybody who cant explain his wealth must be brought to account.
Everyone who has served in public office must account for what they own. This
is the change we want Nigerians to support”, he declared, adding that the dream
of the Buhari government is to have a “country where integrity is our national
culture.”
The VP assured that the policies of the government are not tainted by
any hidden agenda, stressing that at the end of their tenure, Buhari and
himself will be ready to present their bank account details and assets owned to
convince Nigerians they never abused their positions to get richer.
While pleading that Nigerians should be more patient with the
administration, Osinbajo said the change mantra of the government was not and
will never be a mere slogan but a necessity they are irrevocably committed to.
“Nigerians should never lose hope in the face of present difficulties.
We have the best opportunity to change this nation now because we have a leader
who is honest in all his dealings. There is a determination by this government
to change the nation’s direction”, he assured.
Answering questions on the social security scheme promised some
categories of Nigerians, the VP said the government remains committed to a
health insurance scheme that will provide coverage for all Nigerians. He
assured that the N5,000 monthly stipend promised poor Nigerians will soon take
off, adding that a list of one million beneficiaries for a start is already
being complied across the country.
He pleaded for the understanding of Nigerians on the biting fuel
scarcity across the country, promising that a policy that will provide final
solution will be unveiled in a matter of weeks. UAC Covener and National Legal
Adviser of the ruling APC, Dr Muiz Banire, SAN in his opening remarks called
for continuous support for the change Nigerians voted for at the 2015 general
elections.
He explained that the body was “conceived as a vehicle to engage and
sensitize Nigerians on the philosophical and moral significance of change
working through its major platform: Change Nigeria.”
