President Muhammadu Buhari has described Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as a dedicated and loyal compatriot with a passionate desire for the development of Nigeria.
He thanked Mr Osinbajo for his selflessness and passion for excellence in the execution of tasks assigned to his office, acknowledging all of his visits to the different parts of the country to identify with the common people.
“One thing that is admirable about the vice-president is his passion for excellence in everything he is involved with,” said the president.
Mr Buhari was one of the distinguished Nigerians that extolled the qualities of Mr Osinbajo at the public presentation of a book in the vice-president’s honour.
The president spoke on Monday at the virtual unveiling of the book ‘Osinbajo Strides: Defining Moments of An Innovative Leader’ written in honour of the vice-president by a team of 25 journalists.
Mr Buhari, represented by the secretary to the government of the federation, Boss Mustapha, applauded Mr Osinbajo’s dedication to service, especially in catering for the interest of the masses.
“Besides all of his official engagements as vice president, we all saw this attribute exhibited by him right from the campaigns, how he ensured that the right things were done,” he said.
Mr Osinbajo said he felt honoured to be celebrated in such a manner.
