After retiring, Buhari would make a good entertainer, says Osinbajo

According to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, President Muhammadu Buhari would make a terrific entertainer after his administration.

This was said by Osinbajo on Friday as he was proposing a toast for Buhari at a special dinner held at the State House Banquet Hall on his behalf by his family and close friends to celebrate his 80th birthday.

He cited the President’s “sense of humor,” recalling how the President would make jokes to defuse the situation and get him to change his mind about sending a letter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to ask them to look into corruption claims made against him.

“Mr. President is a really funny guy, and I believe that when he retires, he will have a very successful career in entertainment. I went to him one day since I was the subject of certain accusations. I went to him to show him the letter I had sent to the EFCC requesting an investigation since I was so furious with him.

He took a look at it and then turned to face me, calling me either VP or Professor, depending on his mood. “VP, why do you bother yourself about all these people?” he questioned this time. These folks basically fabricate all kinds of unfounded accusations and fabrications, including the claim that I am preparing to be married once again. Even some stupid individuals were hanging around at the National Mosque, waiting for me to arrive and be married once again, he said.

“I invite your excellences, ladies and gentlemen, to join me in proposing this toast to an exemplary leader, a forthright and honest man, a good and kind man, and a man who has led this country with great courage, determination, and commitment for so many years,” Osinbajo said in praise of Buhari for his “great courage and commitment” in leading the country.

We hope that the Almighty God preserves his life for a very long time to come and that he spends the whole of that time in good health, peace, joy, and the affection of all of our countrymen.

Buhari has stated he won’t miss the Aso Rock Villa much because of the persistent persecution he receives from certain Nigerians who disparage his attempts to improve the nation.

He said that despite his best efforts, they do not appear to be sufficient.
