Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has told Nigeria’s Vice
President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, that he deserves commendation for many legal
battles he won during Bola Tinubu’s tenure as Lagos State Governor.
Sanwo-Olu said this while congratulating Osinbajo on the
occasion of his 65th birthday.
Recall that Osinbajo, who served as the Attorney General of
Lagos from 1999 to 2007 and has served as the vice president of Nigeria since
2015, was born on March 8, 1957.
The governor, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Chief
Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, described Osinbajo as a worthy,
committed, loyal and dependable partner to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the Vice President is a beacon of selfless service,
seasoned administrator, legal icon, university don, and religious leader, who
had used his skills and positions in different capacities for national growth
and development, both in the private and public sectors.
The governor commended Osinbajo for his contribution to the
growth and development of Lagos State, especially in the judicial sector,
during his eight years tenure as the Commissioner for Justice and
Attorney-General of the state.
He said Lagos State witnessed a lot of transformation in the
judicial sector during Osinbajo’s tenure as Commissioner for Justice.
”The Vice President deserves commendation for many legal
battles fought and won by the state during Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s tenure as
Lagos State Governor.
”On behalf of the good people of Lagos State and my adorable
wife, Ibijoke, I heartily congratulate Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on the
occasion of his 65th birthday celebration.
”I commend him for his patriotism, doggedness, dedication,
exemplary leadership qualities, commitment and tireless efforts exhibited so
far as Nigeria’s Vice President.
”Prof. Osinbajo is worth celebrating because of his
remarkable achievements in the legal profession, as well as his contributions, selfless
services, and sacrifices to our dear Lagos State and Nigeria,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu said Vice President Osinbajo’s contributions to
the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration at the
federal level were commendable.
He said that this was considering how he was partnering and
working with President Muhammadu Buhari and other critical stakeholders to
steer the ship of Nigeria in the right path, to deliver dividends of democracy
to millions of Nigerians.
”I wish Prof. Osinbajo more years of joy and good health,
for continued service to the country and humanity as a whole,” Sanwo-Olu said.
