Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday, said he hated mentioning the name of the ruling party from which the Buhari administration took over because doing so gives him a headache.
He accused the Peoples Democratic Party of neglecting Nigerians’ social welfare during its 16 years of governance at the federal level.
Osinbajo, who spoke at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign in Ondo State, stated that many of the initiatives of the current government should have been conceived and implemented by the previous administrations.
The Vice President said, “Don’t let us deceive ourselves. What has held our country back for so long is corruption. That is why we say we cannot go back; all of these things we are doing are things that should have been done long ago.
“We should have completed the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway by now. But we just started doing it. The ones that were doing it before, I won’t mention their names. We don’t even want to mention their names because it gives us a headache.
“They said they were doing Lagos-Ibadan but it was all a lie. Budget after budget, they didn’t do it. That is what we are doing now. It is the government of Muhammadu Buhari that is doing it now and we will finish it. If you drive on that road, you will see the work we have done.”
Osinbajo, who is seeking re-election with Buhari, stated that the administration was feeding 9.2 million children in 26 states every day with its home-grown school feeding programme, adding that the target was 13 million children in the 36 states.
