60yr-old Osinbajo says, Buhari, 74, treats me as a son

Sixty-year-old acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari 74, takes him as a brother and treats him as a son.

He made the statement when he spoke at the palace of Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumin Usman, during his visit to the state for the inauguration of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Clinic.

The details were made available in series of tweets by his spokesperson, Laolu Akande.

Akande quoted Osinbajo as saying, “I feel very much at home in Katsina. More so, because this is the state of the President who has taken me as a brother. In fact, the President has taken me as a son in the way he treats me,”

Speaking further, Osinbajo said, “The amount of responsibilities President Buhari has given me shows he seriously believes we can live together as brothers. I pray the Lord will preserve our President to continue to lead as the nation has voted him to do. He seriously believes in Nigerian unity.”

The acting president then prayed that God should preserve Buhari who is currently on medical vacation in London, the United Kingdom.
