Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, according to Professor Sola Adeyeye, is unquestionably Nigeria’s most courageous defender of federalism.
Professor Osinbajo has proved his devotion to the values of real federalism throughout the years, he said, via his actions and statements. Adedeye described Osinbajo as a composed leader who is always able to fill in the void when Buhari leaves the country.
Adeyeye, who represented Osun Central senatorial district in the National Assembly from May 2011 to May 2019 and he made the assertion in a recent interview with the Daily Independent newspaper.
He said: “If you are talking of the success of Tinubu, you will remember that six times, Tinubu took the federal government to court, six times he won. “The brain behind that victory was Yemi Osinbajo. Osinbajo has been the most fearless champion of federalism in this country.
“Every time that Buhari had to travel and Osinbajo steps in, things have run very smoothly. He has the temperament, intellect, sagacity, capacity, and dexterity required of a true leader. “He did not become Vice President by accident. Actually, I was in Asokoro on the night that Osinbajo’s name was submitted as running mate to President Buhari who was our candidate then. “It was the nomination of Tinubu, let’s be honest about that. What did Tinubu see that made him nominate Osinbajo?
“He must have seen a trait that is unique, singular, and presidential because when you are vice president, you are just one breath away from the presidency.”
