Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s vice president and presidential hopeful on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) says serving under Muhammadu Buhari has taught him how to govern a complex country like Nigeria.
A statement released on Tuesday by Mr Osinbajo’s media aide, Laolu Akande, said that the vice president made this statement at the Palace of the Emir of Gombe, Abubakar Shehu Abubakar, during a visit to the state to canvass for votes from All Progressives Congress (APC) delegates ahead of the ruling party’s 2023 primary election.
“I have had the honour of serving under a transparent leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, who exposed me very diligently to all that there is to know about governing a complex and very diverse country such as ours,” Mr Osinbajo said.
“With the experience that God has given me and the exposure that I have had, including being acting President on occasions; if God enables me to become president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I think my experience, all I’ve learned, will be extremely useful.”
