The relationship between me and the President is like Father and Son – VP Osinbajo

 President Muhammadu Buhari has been treating Acting President Yemi Osinbajo like his son since they started working together two years ago.
Osinbajo let the public into this father-son relationship yesterday at the launch of Katsina State’s MSMES Clinic during his one-day official visit to President Buhari’s home state.


Reflecting on their personal and official relationships, Osinbajo said “The President has been treating me as a brother. In fact, the President has taken me as a son in the way he treats me.

“Going by the amount of responsibilities President Buhari has given me; it shows that he seriously believes that we can live as brothers in this country.

“He seriously believes in the unity of Nigeria. I pray the Lord will preserve our President to continue to lead us just as the nation has voted him to do.” he said.

Osinbajo said Buhari believed that Nigeria’s capacity is limitless in terms of what it can produce.

He said: “When he gave the 2017 budget speech in December 2016, the President said the central vision of our government is to grow everything that we would eat and to make everything we would use.”
