Won’t Teach You About Winning Elections'

The vice president says without politics, he would have remained a pressure group activist.

Recounting his spell as Attorney General in Lagos, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says, “without public office, I wouldn’t have been able to make the changes required.”

He also tells young Nigerians that the best way to transform society is by actively participating in politics, or seeking positions in government.

"You need to go the extra length if you are not already involved, get involved in politics—while a lot can be achieved in civil society, government still holds the ace in terms of capacity and resources to bring social good to the largest number," the vice president says during a virtual interaction with Nigerian Fellows of the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders.
