Says every conflict is a result of elite’s failure to speak up
Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo has stated that Nigeria can not afford another civil war because it will not augur well for the country.
This was stated by the vice-president at an interactive forum of All Progressives Congress, (APC), Anambra governorship aspirants, organised by the State chapter of APC Patriots, in Abuja.
The thing about the kind of conflict in this part of the world, developing countries, is that it is usually a war without end. Everyone who thinks he has some money stored up somewhere will eventually run out of money. Everyone who thinks he can go and hide somewhere, won`t even find a place to hide, in the end, everyone will suffer.
Even if you dont suffer, parents, children, young and old people and relations will suffer. We cannot afford a war in this country, we can`t afford it”, he said.
Osinbajo said the political elite must rise to the challenge by speaking the truth and taking action to address the situation in the country. The Vice President added that the elite could make a great difference just by the words they speak. If we don`t speak up against disunity, if we keep quiet and remain under the radar, the enemies of peace and those who want to promote disunity will have their ways”, he stated.
He, therefore, urged political elites in the country to always speak up and stand for the interest of the country and the general public.
