The Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has described any public officer holder who is chasing after money is insane.He revealed that the president said to him that at his age, his only heart’s desire was to see a great Nigeria.

The vice president was quoted by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, as making this remark while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative otherwise called the Pastors’ Forum, Taraba State, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘at my age, there is only one thing I am looking for, I want to see a great Nigeria.’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that,” Osinbajo reportedly told his guests.

Osinbajo added: “It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money.

“God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people.

“I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country, there is nothing he/she is looking for anymore, except that, while there, you improve the lot of the people.”

On power, the Vice-President has stated that the country was producing 5,000MW of power for the first time by early 2016, but by February 2016 the Forcados terminal was destroyed by militants.

“Nothing changed, the only reason is that we are investigating people who have stolen money,” Osinbajo said.
