Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on
Sunday at the Presidential Villa Banquet Hall said that his wife, Dolapo
Osinbajo, had preferred a quiet life to the rigours of politics.
NAN reports that Osinbajo
revealed this at a Thanksgiving Service organised by the Aso Villa Chapel to
thank God for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari and Osinbajo.
“It is impossible to thank Him
enough; I and my family have too many reasons to thank God.
“One day my wife and I reflected
on how unlikely our journey here is.
“She reminded me that all she
wanted was a quiet life as one of the many families of academics living on the
University campus.
“If someone had said to me in
2013 you will be campaigning across the country;. you will win the elections
and become Vice President of Nigeria I would, because I am generally polite,
have said amen but in my heart, say what a crazy chap!
”Any one who knows how difficult
it is to campaign for local government chairman and win, you will not find it
difficult to accept that except the Lord build the house they labour in vain
who build it.”
Osinbajo said he realised that he
had no special qualification to be what he was today as he had enjoyed
incredible promotion from God.
Citing Psalms 75:5,6, Osinbajo
said “exaltation comes neither from the east, nor from the west nor from the
south. But God is the Judge; he puts down one, and exalts another.”
He said that on Feb. 2, God gave
him further reason to prove that his mercy was upon him.
The vice president said he was
going to Kogi for a two day campaign tour when his helicopter crashed as it got
in to land at Kabba, Kogi State.
He said it was God’s mercy that
he and his crew came out unscathed.
