The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has described Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as a worthy ally.
Tinubu made the remark on Friday in a statement made available by his media aide, Mr. Tunde Rahman, on the occasion of the 62 birthday of Osinbajo.
He said the vice president was, apart from being an erudite legal luminary, a worthy ally with whom a solid foundation was laid for the development of Lagos State.
Tinubu said during his tenure as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State, Osinbajo instituted and won many cases which helped the state to attain enviable height.
“Since I knew him, he has not changed one bit in brilliance, commitment to causes he believes in, selflessness and loyalty to the nation.
“He remains an erudite legal luminary and worthy ally.
“Together with Osinbajo and other technocrats we helped to lay a solid foundation for an egalitarian and prosperous Lagos that is blind to ethnicity and religion.
“Most of the landmark cases Lagos won at the Supreme Court bore his imprint. He is a champion of restructuring and true federalism of sort because he used the instrumentality of the law to advance the course of restructuring.
“One of such landmark cases won by Lagos is the one on creation of Local Governments where the Supreme Court held that the state has the power to create additional councils and complied with the extant constitutional provisions.
“That judgment helped in expanding the centres of development which has changed the Lagos political landscape forever.”
Tinubu wished him good health and many years of great service to the country.
He also congratulated his family.
The APC chieftain also congratulated Osinbajo for a harmonious working relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari.
