Osinbajo Exposes Sh*cking Truth: “Many Politicians Don’t Know Why They’re In Power

Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that a significant number of Nigerian leaders enter politics without proper preparation or a clear agenda.

Speaking at the 2nd Annual Daniel Taiwo Odukoya Memorial Lecture held at The Fountain of Life Church in Lagos on Saturday, Osinbajo expressed concern that this lack of readiness has contributed to the negative perception of politics in Nigeria.

Despite this, he emphasized that politics remains the most effective avenue to attain leadership and drive meaningful change.

“Politics has earned a bad reputation not only in Nigeria but globally,” Osinbajo said. “However, the reality is that influencing a nation is only possible through active engagement in the political process. If we avoid participating in electing leaders, shaping policies, or joining political parties, we lose the right to complain when decisions go against our values.”

He lamented that many individuals enter politics without vision or understanding, and consequently leave no meaningful impact.

According to him, leadership should be driven by purpose, principles, and knowledge, stressing that Nigeria’s progress depends on citizens—especially morally grounded and visionary individuals—taking an active role in politics.

“This country is not beyond saving,” Osinbajo declared. “But true change will only happen when capable and value-driven citizens step up and take the lead.”
