Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has revealed his greatest surprise in office as vice president.

Professor Osinbajo revealed that what shocked him most was what he described as “grand corruption.”

During his presentation at the ongoing 24th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, Professor Yemi Osinbajo spoke on Corruption and Rule of Law.


Recall that, Osinbajo had earlier lamented that whenever he tried dismissing corrupt public officer holders, some religious leaders would always intervene.

“I think, frankly, the biggest surprise for me has been the sheer impact of corruption on development,” he said.

“Whereas what we were more familiar with was corruption in the public procurement process and the like, but what is rare and damaging is directly going to the very source of revenue and taking public resource for private.”

He further explained that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had made some significant impact in this area by “holding persons who made away with public funds accountable, taking them to court, seizing their assets both locally and internationally and transferring back to the country proceeds of corruption.”

He lamented that, “Trying to get money from foreign governments or from foreign banks is an obstacle for Nigeria. It is laden with all manner of difficulties and it is obvious that there is no enthusiasm about returning money that is already in their custody. It is very, very difficult.”

And what have they done about it since they entered power.

As a sitting president, you don't make promises during campaign, rather you tell people your achievements and give them reasons why they should vote for you to continue.

Buhari/Osinbajo administration is already a failed one.

I read it bro. I just consider all that as a normal sentimental speech. How many of the real currupt individuals have they actually prosecuted. Those stealing the money they are trying to retrieve, many of them are still walking freely so let's leave all that sentimental speech as we approach 2019.

The battle is not for government or an individual alone.

It requires collective action from all of us, you inclusive.

The second shock will come February 2019.
Back to Daura is a collective responsibility of all well meaning Nigerians.

And what has your so called Anti corruption help develop in the Country?

Oga VP time no reach nah e still remain small sir

Corruption has been the number one problem of this country, the one PMB has fighting head on, the one some presidential aspirants want to return us to. However I believe that PMB will continue to fight this said grand corruption regardless of what naysayers will say or even do

Osunbade should go for a brain check-up cos it seem lifelessness and zombism has eaten deep into his system.

if you were surprised by grand corruption you met on grand, what about the massive corruption presently going on? What about the titlle of being the world headquarter of poverty you and the lifeless one led us into?



this mere commissioner should be taken to a psychiatric hospital

LIARS now run the house of the lord

Osibanjo talking about corruption that surprised him. Hmmmm... when ur boss is the master of corruption... u sacked Daura, and ur boss returned from abroad angrily and remove the competent southerner and put back his own.... APC go and rest jor....

These guys have never talked about Economy and the welfare of Nigerians for once, they always sing the song "corruption" which we know is fallacy..

What's corruption when you are shielding your own?

I'll bet the Prof isn't surprised by corruption anymore.....

He's swimming in it now.

Obi will not be surprised.

It requires the collective will of every Nigerian for our dear country to survive.
Anyway, it is well.

BIAFRONIGERIAN:
