Osinbajo recounts near death experience, how it would’ve landed some Nigerians in trouble

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday recounted his recent near death experience and how it would have landed innocent Nigerians in trouble.

According to him, those who would have been in trouble for what was not their fault were those in charge of security and the government of Kogi State.

He stated this at a special thanksgiving service for the victory of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the recently concluded presidential election.

At the event which held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, the Vice President said only God deserved to be praised not only for saving his life but also for saving the innocent persons who would have been smeared with false allegations.

Osinbajo and those with him had in February survived a helicopter crash in Kabba, Kogi State.

Sharing his experience he said, “On February 2nd, God gave me reason to know that but for His grace we would have been consumed, when our helicopter crashed.

“When the crashed occurred, for a moment there was complete silence. For a second, it occurred to me that if we had died, that is what it would have been–complete silence. But we all got out without a scratch. God delivered us.

“God also delivered those in charge of our security; even the government of Kogi State would also have been in trouble. We give God all the glory. I pray God will also be kind to you all also, that you will never be lacking in support, care and genuine prayers.

“God is surely worthy to be praise. I have no special qualifications to be here but exaltation comes from God.”
