Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of Nigerian Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians as she and her husband bid farewell to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
OsunDaily News reports that for the past eight years, Dolapo and her husband have made the Aso Rock their home, and barely 24 hours before the inauguration ceremony, she took to her Instagram page to share an emotional photo.
The photo captured the moment the couple turned their backs to the camera as they walk out of the villa with Osinbajo’s hand on his wife’s shoulders.
Dolapo, who expressed appreciation to God for the eight years spent in the Aso Rock, wrote: “Thanking God for 8 years.”
Many Nigerians including Ibukun Awosika, and Nollywood actress, Ajoke Silva, stormed the comment section with different reactions:

@suwakeh wrote: “While I personally like you and your brilliant husband, you have been accomplices to the worst regime in the history of Nigeria by all indices imaginable! Corruption, poverty, insecurity, unemployment, election rigging and so on have all gone from bad to WORST under the current administration. What is most annoying is that you both sat back and said nothing to the charade of a presidential election that you ought to know was a shouting sham. How can suffering Nigerians vote for a government that has striped them of decency, humanity, and honor? God is watching all of us”
