In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said, “Those waiting on the sidelines hoping that the country would disintegrated will be very sorely disappointed and I’m very sure those of you sitting here today will prevent that from happening.

“This country can take all of us, regardless of tribe, religion, gender or age, and I want to urge you to continually seek ways of making this union fairer and more just for the benefit of all.”

Restating the country’s strength in unity in diversity, Prof. Osinbajo noted, “Our people will be better served by a large, populous and diverse country. As with all big and diverse countries, our business is to make the union work.”
