SAN FRANCISCO, August 18, (THEWILL) – The Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on Friday, declared that the Buhari administration has, since its inception on May 29, 2015, demonstrated to Nigerians that it can solve the country’s problems, irrespective of the nature of such challenges.

He stated this during an interview with journalists in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, after attending the inauguration of President Paul Kagame in that country.

Osinbajo cited efforts by the present administration to liberate the North-East from the clutches of Boko Haram insurgents as an example of how the government had proven to Nigerians that it can solve their problems.

He said the government had also been tackling the humanitarian crisis caused by the activities of the terrorists in the affected parts of the country.

The Acting President urged African leaders to start looking inward and be directly involved in the destiny and future of their countries.

According to him, “That is a theme that has gone through the African Union and it is very resonant that we must solve our own problems; that African can solve its own problems and I think African nations have begun to demonstrate that.

“We have shown in Nigeria that whatever problems we have, we can resolve them. We are doing so in the North-East, we are doing so with the humanitarian condition and all of that.

“We are saying that we can take leadership in various respects; leadership in our economy.

“We can handle the commanding heights of our economy and be directly involved in the destiny and future of our countries.

“I think the point that he (Kagame) made is an important one and it’s one that is being demonstrated all over Africa.”

Osinbajo commended the Rwandan President for showing excellent leadership, particularly in the East African region, stating that his efforts were largely responsible for his re-election.

Earlier in his inauguration speech, Kagame, who was sworn in for his third term in office, asserted that Africa must look inwards, stressing that the continent’s governance and prosperity could not be outsourced.
