National leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has observed that despite
occupying the exalted office of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has
remained his human self without putting on airs.
In a personal letter to the Vice
President on his 61st birthday, the former Lagos governor also noted that
Osinbajo, as his Commissioner for Justice and the Lagos State Attorney-General
for eight years, did not allow high office to affect his humanity.
He pointed out that the Vice
President’s life has been one of commitment to the principles of justice, honesty
and equality of all people, adding that the birthday celebrant has shown that
high office does not have to lower a person’s sense of morality.
The letter, signed by Tinubu
Media Office, reads, “My dear Yemi, I congratulate you today on your 61st birthday.
This day presents an opportunity
for us to thank God for the years he has given you and to pray that He provide
you with many more birthdays.
“Your birthday also gives me the
chance to tell you that the respect and affection I have for you as a brother
and friend are deep and abiding.
“Your life has been one of
commitment to the principles of justice, honesty, fairness and equality of all
people under God. As a lawyer, you plied your knowledge of the law to advance
the welfare of the common man and thus protect those ideals and beliefs
integral to the exercise of our collective humanity.
“During your eight years as
Attorney-general and Commissioner for Justice, you continued to stand for
profound and worthy causes just as you did in private practice. You did not
allow high office to change you or dilute your humanity.
“You vitally contributed to most
of the landmark cases and laws passed in the state, which paved the way for the
ongoing development of the state. Those same rare talents and traits you
continue to live by today.
“Holding the office of the Vice
President has not changed you. You remain as humble, as brilliant and as
committed to performance as you have ever been.
“Your performance and service to
the nation is a source of pride to those who know you. Along with President
Buhari, you have helped to show that assumption of high office does not have to
lower one’s sense of morality or lessen their humanity.
“Thank you for being a champion
for those who are without. Thank you for your service to the country. Thank you
for your loyalty to President Buhari.
“May God grant you more years,
good health, strength and wisdom. I wish you a most happy birthday dear
brother.”
