The acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday blamed the Federal Government for the ethnic agitations across the country.

He said the failure of the state to provide the basic needs for the people had forced them to seek succour in their respective ethnic groups.



He said the political elite had failed the people through looting of funds meant for their social welfare.

Osinbajo spoke during the 50th conference of the Nigerian Law Teachers Association held at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.

The acting President said most of the security problems confronting the nation were self-inflicted, resulting from corrupt practices, injustices, among others.

He said it was the duty of the three arms of government to provide the enabling environment for the enhancement of the quality life for the people.

He said, “The Boko Haram in the North-East, militants in the Niger Delta and farmer/herdsmen clashes were as a result of poverty.

“A lot of these agitations centred on the failure of the state to create an inclusive society, a failure to guarantee the security of lives and property by the agencies charged with the responsibility and the failure to build trust around the rule of law and justice system of administration.”

Osinbajo said lack of provision of basic needs of life to the people remained the greatest source of tension in the country.

He decried the level of unemployment which had made the Nigerian youth vulnerable to be recruited as kidnappers, anti-social agitators and violence of all sorts.

Osinbajo, who said he started teaching law in 1981, described law teachers as the custodians and creators of law.

He added “We are the thinkers for our system of justice. We have often contested the usefulness of law to the society.”

While noting that the law teachers’ forum offered them the opportunity to interact on the fundamental issues and ideas that bound them together, Osinbajo advised them to come up with solutions to the Nigerian jurisprudence and legal system.

Earlier, the Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, had expressed worry over the rate at which criminals were being granted bail by courts, describing the trend as ugly.

He called on the participants to take advantage of the conference to proffer solutions to such problems.

Typically Yoruba way of thinking. Very bad indeed.
Blaming igbo leaders and state for a well orchestrated marginalization policies of federal government on igbos since after the civil war. Blaming them for
1. Only functional sea port/international airport in one region, pulling population & investors towards that region.
2. Less feddral govt. infrastructure projects and roads in the region that can be a catalyst for economic growth
3.Every imaginable security forces on all the SE neglected federal/state roads extorting money from the general public in that region, and the lists goes on and on.

Typical thinking of a frustrated IPOB youth. Always Jumping into conclusion and twisting story is in their blood when the article points out Acting president blames FG for the recent unrest in the nation. When your buffoonery hero was in power with dignitaries from your region held key positions, you never castigate them to do the needful.

Very lazy to read, difficult to comprehend clear messages and demeaning mind to discern the truth is one the main characteristics of IPOBians.
