The Vice President made the comments on Thursday, August 27, 2015, during a meeting with Yoruba traditional rulers at the State House in Abuja.
Osinbajo said:
“You hear people saying that the reason that man is being tried for corruption is because he is Yoruba, he is from the North, and he is from South South.”

“We must not encourage those kinds of ideas. If a person steals, he ought to be punished and made to return what he has stolen because the money does not belong to him.”
“There is no family in Yoruba land that allows thieves. If you are a thief, we will expose you. We should support the effort of the administration to fight corruption.”
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of favouring the North in his appointment of public officials.
