President Bola Tinubu has declared that former Vice President, Mr. Yemi Osinbajo, will always remain his friend and associate.
The president made the declaration on Saturday when congratulating Osinbajo on the occasion of his 68 birthday.
In a statement by his media aide, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the president said Osinbajo worked harmoniously with President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver good governance and critical infrastructural projects for the country.
He recalled how Osinbajo proved his mettle when he briefly acted as President while President Buhari was on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom.

Describing him as a close ally, friend, and brother, the president affirmed that as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in his administration as Lagos governor, Prof. Osinbajo partnered with him to institute many political and judicial reforms in the state, using the instrumentality of the law.
President Tinubu acknowledges that Professor Osinbajo exercised his “democratic right and freedom” in 2023 when he contested alongside him for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress.
The president remarked: “Professor Yemi Osinbajo will always remain my friend and associate. He served our country meritoriously as Vice President to that patriotic leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.
“He made all of us in the All Progressives Congress proud by working collaboratively and harmoniously with the president without rancour.”
President Tinubu joined Professor Osinbajo’s family, particularly his wife Dolapo and children, friends, and associates, in wishing the erudite professor many more years of good health and a future filled with continued success and achievements.
