Laolu Akande, the spokesman to Nigerian Vice President has, in his tribute, disclosed at least four unique attributes that stands Professor Yemi Osinbajo out as the VP marks his 63rd birthday on Sunday, March 8th, 2020.
“Those are : the grace of God that ordains and separates him and which causes him to be elevated and triumphant; the fear of God, relentless hardworking ethos and a tremendous understanding of strategy and timing.”
Explaining further, Akande who said he had relocated from the US to serve the Buhari/Osinbajo administration in pursuit of its reform agenda, noted that so far he has also become a student of the rare constellation of qualities he has discovered about the Vice President.
Detailing each of the four attributes, Akande states that:
a. The grace of God is the “very foundation of Prof Yemi Osinbajo. It defines who he is, assures him of God’s readiness, willingness and ability to fight his battles and secures his destiny.”
b. Second is his fear of God, which moderates his attitude and produces the humility many know him for.
c. Third is his preparation, evinced by past and current hardworking ethos.
d. And lastly, his knowledge, strategy and timing, proof that indeed he knows what to do and how to get it done, often times.
Concluding Akande said “I have gladly been a student this past 5 years working closely for this very good man. And we are all thankful to God for preserving his life and for blessing him so much for God’s own glory.”
