The Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said the office of the Vice President under an
APC governmenr will not be a “spare tyre.”
A statement issued by the APC Presidential Campaign organisation
and signed by the media director, Alhaji Garba Shehu, quoted
Osinbajo as saying this at a parley with health care professionals
under the auspices of the Health Care Federation of Nigeria on
Sunday in Lagos.
Osinbajo said that the party had made adequate plans to ensure
that the National Economic Council, which is under the office of the
Vice President, was made a vibrant body in line with the provisions
of the constitution.
The statement also quoted Osinbajo as saying that an APC
government would partner with the private sector for effective
healthcare delivery.
He said the party would also ensure the lowering of the cost of
funds to provide easy access to capital, to address the crisis in the
power sector and expend a minimum of one billion dollars on health
insurance.
The APC Vice Presidential candidate said that corruption would be
tackled head-on as a first step to tackling the nation’s myriad of
problems.
“We have to deal with corruption very seriously,” he said.
He said that the party’s free education policy would, in the first
instance, be available at primary and secondary school levels, and
later extended to tertiary levels but limited to science, technology,
engineering, maths and education.
