President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated former Vice-President (Prof.) Yemi Osinbajo, his longtime ally and friend, on his 68th birthday.

Prof. Osinbajo was Vice-President of Nigeria from 2015 to 2023.

In his tribute, President Tinubu noted Osinbajo, a Professor of Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN),聽had worked harmoniously with ex-President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver good governance and critical infrastructural projects for the country.

The President also recalled how Osinbajo proved his mettle when he briefly acted as President while President Buhari was on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom (UK).

Describing him as a close ally, friend and brother, the President leader 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.

Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, at the weekend, stated President Tinubu as well acknowledged that Prof. Osinbajo exercised his “democratic right and freedom” in 2023 when he contested alongside him for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress.

Tinubu stated: “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.”

The statement noted the President joined 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.”
