Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday attended the inauguration ceremony of the Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta in Nairobi.
Speaking at the swearing in, Osinbajo urged African leaders to shun politics of division in order to confront problems facing the continent.
According to him, “The first issue, which I think is very important, is that of reconciliation and coming together, and somehow being able to avoid this politics of identity which is just divisive and it’s used to create more problems than we would ever solve.
“I think that President Kenyatta was quite on the point when he said that we cannot continue to perpetrate this politics of identity and division.
“It is time to come together as partners to make progress in the interest of the nation. I think that is particularly important,” he said.
