President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has felicitated former Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on his 68th birthday.
Describing Prof. Osinbajo as a close and long time ally, a friend, and brother, the President affirmed that as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in his administration as Lagos governor, Prof. Osinbajo partnered with him to institute many political and judicial reforms in the state, using the instrumentality of the law.
In a congratulatory message signed by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu noted that Osinbajo, a professor of law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, worked harmoniously with President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver good governance and critical infrastructural projects for the country.
The President recalled how Prof. Osinbajo proved his mettle when he briefly acted as President while President Buhari was on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom.
“Professor Yemi Osinbajo will always remain my friend and associate. He served our country meritoriously as Vice President to that patriotic leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.
“He made all of us in the All Progressives Congress proud by working collaboratively and harmoniously with the president without rancour.”
President Tinubu acknowledged that Professor Osinbajo exercised his “democratic right and freedom” in 2023 when he contested alongside him for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
President Tinubu joined Professor Osinbajo’s family, particularly his wife Dolapo and children, friends, and associates, in wishing the erudite professor many more years of good health and a future filled with continued success and achievements.
Professor Yemi Osinbajo was the Vice President of Nigeria from 2015 to 2023.
