Coups, poverty must be dealt with for Africa to grow, says Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday, declared that poverty, socio-economic rights, environmental and sustainable development and concerns about unconstitutional changes of governments must be dealt with for Africa to achieve desired level of attainment.

Osinbajo spoke on the theme: ‘The African Court and The Africa We Want’, as Special Guest of Honour in his address at the opening of the 2022 Judicial Year of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, in Arusha, Tanzania.

He said: “The Africa we want is one that addresses, among others, humanity’s most pressing concerns of eradication of poverty, hunger and disease; the sustenance of democracy and the rule of law; sustainable development, especially dealing with challenges of climate change and application of finite resources for economic growth and diversification; human security and peace.”

He also commended the African Court of Human and People’s Rights for the Afrocentric development of human rights jurisprudence, noting that already the African Court is playing its own role.

He said the court has required states to uphold rights and principles of fairness, transparency and inclusiveness in elections during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also noting its declaration that states should not use the postponement of elections to “unduly” prolong elected officials’ term of office.

The Vice President, who addressed justices of the African Court, other sister regional human rights institutions, groups of lawyers and experts and international human rights bodies, among other stakeholders, identified the challenges and burdens “we must discharge to arrive at the type of continent we want,” and then asked the question, “what is the Court doing by its mandate and practice to relieve those burdens?”

He then called on African nations to, while pursuing implementation of Agenda 2063, resolve to improve human rights records of the continent in the immediate future, as “the purpose of life is in the here and now, not in the far future.”
