Professor Osinbajo who paid a courtesy call on the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, His Lordship Calistus Onaga, lamented the high rate of unemployment in the country, saying Nigeria is in dire straits, adding that the country was sliding dangerously into a failed state.According to Nigerian Tribune, he lamented that 80 per cent of young graduates were unemployed, 40 per cent of non-graduate youths unemployed and over 125,000 kids die of related ailments.
The former Attorney-General of Lagos State bemoaned that pervasive corruption was rife and further alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan seemed unconcerned over the unbridled corruption under his watch.
He exonerated the presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), saying he has no agenda to Islamise the country.“The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria defines Nigeria as a secular state and most importantly, as a military head of state, Buhari did not join Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) or used draconian powers at his disposal to Islamise the country.
“Our programmes are designed to fight corruption, provide maximum security and to revamp Enugu coal so as to create one million jobs for South-East youths,”he said.
Speaking during the visit, the Catholic Bishop pleaded with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow the peoples’ votes to count during the election.
Professor Osinbajo later met students from the South-East zone at Nike Lake Resort, Enugu, where he showcased the programmes of the APC to them.It will be recalled that Gen. Buhari met with Catholic Bishops recently in Abuja, where he affirmed that he had no personal religious programme and as a practicing Muslim, he doesn’t share the views of any extremist group.
