Speaking at the 2016 convocation ceremony of the Afe Babalola University in Ado Ekiti, Osinbajo noted that though corruption is evident in the three tiers of government, the Buhari led administration will not spare any sector or individual in the fight against corruption.

In his words: “All the institutions of government, I mean the executive, legislature and the judiciary are corrupt. What we need is serious reorientation. So, value reorientation is a key weapon to fight corruption.

“That was why the present federal government is intervening, because if we refuse every facet of the country will fail. We must act fast and deal with the situation as quickly as possible,” he said.

Speaking further, Osinbajo said: “The Federal government will continue to give support to every project that will fast track development in each of the states of the federation. We know how important is this airport to Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD).

“I have great respect for Chief Afe Babalola because of his stand against corruption. Sometimes in 2002, Chief Babalola argued the case for the establishment of Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission(ICPC) where he let the court realized that corruption is the greatest problem of our nation," he said.

The Vice President has consistently reiterated the determination of the current administration to fight corruption to a standstill in Nigeria.
