They spoke alongside other eminent personalities at the Eleventh Annual Lecture and second conferment of award in honour of late Gani Fawehinmi in Lagos.
Prof. Osinbajo, in his remarks after being conferred with the Gani Fawehinmi Integrity Award by the NBA Ikeja Branch alongside late Bamidele Aturu, said there was no doubt that Nigerians want a change.
He said Nigerians could no longer afford a situation where the country has no option:
“What we have seen going round the country is that the Nigerian people are so articulate about what they want and are very clear about what is wrong.
“There is no question that people are looking for responsible leadership that could deliver the social goods and responsible leadership means transparent leadership.”
Osinbajo supported the views expressed by Dr. Zaid Timilehin, one of the guest lecturers, that the change people are looking for was not about ethnicity or religion.
He emphasised that what should be done as a nation was to choose, who would represent the citizenry best, irrespective of religion and ethnicity.
“And I believe very strongly that the time has come in this nation when change is not just possible, but it may well be inevitable.
“So, if we don’t bring about that change somehow, the people themselves will bring about the change”, he said.
Chairman of the occasion, Cardinal Okogie, in his remarks said there is urgent need to rescue Nigeria.
“This is the time when every right thinking Nigerian must pray to hate the present situation strong enough, such as to desire the fortitude to act right.
“This time does not allow for indifference. All must rise to save Nigeria from the imminent brink of irredeemable destruction. This is the time when only the only currency allowed is truth. This is also the time to wake up from slumber and face reality.
“This is the time we must play the politics of the best, for the best position in order to guarantee the best for our nation”, Okogie stated.
