President Bola Tinubu congratulates his longtime ally and friend, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on his 68th birthday.
 
Professor Osinbajo was vice president of Nigeria from 2015 to 2023.
 
President Tinubu notes 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. 
 
President Tinubu recalls how Osinbajo proved his mettle when he briefly acted as President while President Buhari was on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom.
 
Describing him as a close ally, friend, and brother, the President affirms 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.
 
President Tinubu acknowledges 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. 
 
The President remarks: "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 joins 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.

Special Adviser to the President,

Nobody knows Tinubu better than you. Happy birthday your excellency, Prof Osinbajo. You exist to inspire.

Seems Tinubu planted Osinbajo to run for APC presidential primaries in order to dilute the votes of other contestants.

IPOB tried to deceive us " If it was Osinbajo, we would have voted him"

Because they knew he was particularly weak and Atiku would flog him blue-black.

What did you expect him to campaign with " I will continue with the disaster of last 8 years" OR " I knew the answers but I wasn't allowed to implement them so I allowed Nigerians to suffer"

ChicagoFires:
Happy birthday Osibanjo

The best President we almost had 👋🌟🌟🌟

Had Osinbajo contested the presidency, he would have won by a landslide. All of Peter Obi's candidates in the Southwest would have voted for him.

However, I doubt he'd be able to achieve as much as Tinubu.

I doubt he would be able to end the petrol subsidy.
