Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday maintained that nobody in Nigeria is above the law.
Osinbajo insisted that the rule of the law be maintained in the country.
He 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.
According to him, there is no reason why Nigeria should not be well run like other countries across the world.
Osinbajo, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, 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.”
Noting that the key to a properly runned society is the rule of law, the vice president said: “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.”
