Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has maintained that nobody in Nigeria is above the law while insisting that the rule of the law is be maintained in the country.
Osinbajo, who spoke at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while receiving the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), who paid him a courtesy visit on Wednesday said there is no reason why Nigeria should not be well run like other countries across the world.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said: “Good economies are run by men not spirits. Men and women like you and I, flesh and blood. There is no reason why our country cannot be well run.”
“We insist that the rule of the law be maintained, that no one is above the law. Nobody is above the law, it is the first rule. The President has committed himself to this. He said it yesterday again in the United States that nobody is above the law.”
“If somebody is held according to law, we must support that. Let us support what is good and right for the country.”
Commending the important role road transporters play in the nation’s economy, Osinbajo said the union is “one of the truly national organisations that Nigeria can boast of.”
