For the umpteenth time, President Muhammadu Buhari has publicly acknowledged the unparalleled commitment, loyalty and dedication of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) as Vice-President.
He also described Osinbajo as a dedicated and loyal citizen with a strong desire to see Nigeria develop.
Buhari spoke at the launch of a book titled, “Osinbajo Strides: Defining Moments of an Innovative Leader”, written in honour of the vice president by a team of 25 journalists under the auspices of PYO COLLECTIVE.

Osinbajo, in his remarks, thanked the authors for the honour done to him.
