Why state of origin should be replaced with ‘certificate of residence’ — VP Osinbajo
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says replacing state of origin with a certificate of residence or birth, would promote social cohesion and unity among Nigerians.
Speaking at an event in Plateau State on Monday, April 17, the VP decried the rising spate of fright£ning divisive tendencies, which according to him was responsible for the backwardness in the nation.
He maintained that the country’s diversity ought to be a ”blessing and not a curse”, adding that Nigeria had the potential to be a great nation but only when the cankerworm of division was collectively fought.
Osinbajo, who cited examples of Singapore, Tanzania and Rwanda, as nations that effectively managed their diversities, said that Nigeria could take a cue.
