“Difficult to find men of integrity Nigeria need new tribe of incorruptible men n women” - Osinbajo

Vice President Osinbajo while addressing the audience at the annual dinner of Apostles in the Market Place said that the country needed a new tribe of incorruptible men and women to restore lost values and norms.

Osinbajo said: “We need a new tribe of men and women of all faith, tribes and ethnicities; committed to a country run on high values of integrity, hard work, justice and love for the country.

“A tribe of men and women who are prepared to make the sacrifices crucial to building a strong society; who are prepared to stick together, and insist on justice even when our friends are at the receiving end.

“When you look at any list of alleged perpetrators of a heinous cases of corruption, all tribes, ethnicities and religions are well represented.

In other words, high level corruption knows no religion or ethnicity. “Such perpetrators and conspirators are in governments, the legislature, the judiciary and the press. They are united, they protect each other.”

‘Difficult to find men of integrity’ Osinabjo stated that his discussions with his principal, President Muhammadu Buhari, had indicated that finding men of integrity, who would be assigned various responsibility of government, was a herculean task for them.

He, however, stressed that there was the need for the new tribe of Nigerians, consisting of professionals, businessmen, politicians, religious leaders and all others who believed that a new Nigeria was possible.
