Yemi Osinbajo is the senior partner at SimmonsCooper Partners. Yemi is a professor of law and a former attorney-general of Lagos State and Commissioner for Justice. He is also a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN). Yemi was educated at the University of Lagos, Nigeria (LLB, 1978) and the London School of Economics (LLM, 1980). He was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 1979. He has authored several books on civil procedure in Nigerian superior courts, rules of evidence and justice reform. Yemi has 31 years of litigation experience including significant trial and appellate work. Yemi supervises the commercial litigation group at SimmonsCooper Partners (SCP). Yemi is regarded as one of the finest advocates in Nigeria. Yemi has conducted very important constitutional and precedential cases before the Nigerian Supreme Court. Some of these include fiscal disputes between the federating units and the federal government; disputes regarding the ownership and control of oil and gas resources; town and physical planning disputes between the federating units and the federal government; an international territorial jurisdictional dispute in the West African sub-regional court; shareholder disputes involving a multinational, private investors and state-owned investment corporations and energy disputes arising from multinational participation in power projects in Nigeria. In other cases, Yemi has advised and represented clients in a broad range of commercial and corporate issues including securities litigation, investments and divestments, joint ventures, oil block acquisitions, product liability, fiduciary duties of directors, intellectual property, and corporate valuations. He is also involved in statutory and regulatory appraisal representation before the legislature and federal and state agencies. While in public office as attorney general, Yemi is credited with undertaking far-reaching significant judicial reform in Lagos State, addressing critical areas as judges’ recruitment, remuneration, training and discipline. In addition, he addressed access to justice for the poor by establishing appropriate institutions in the Office of the Public Defender (OPD) and the Citizens Mediation Centre (CMC). In honour of his contributions to legal reform and the development of law in Nigeria, a compendium of essays on Nigerian constitutional law was compiled. The authors of these essays were senior lawyers and law professors with a foreword provided by a past chief justice of Nigeria. Yemi is a member of the International Bar Association and the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and has served in the Nigerian Body of Benchers and the Council for Legal Education of Nigeria. He is currently an independent director of CitiBank Nigeria and an ethics adviser to the board of the Africa Development Bank. He has also served in various capacities within the United Nations Organisation. Yemi speaks frequently at several commercial litigation events locally and internationally. He is actively involved in the pursuit of legal education reform in Nigeria. Copyright © 2011 SimmonsCooper Partners. http://www.scp-law.com/index.php/Yemi-Osinbajo 3 Likes |

AWONEYAN: I try to avoid the dabate about Buhari and religion But the Vice President has no real job he is truly a spare tyre in waiting and is only of use if the President give him responsibility So Yemi's profile or reputation is not what is being voted here.

Tinubu is just trying to play safe here not knowing that the unpopularity of Osibanjo will affect Apc a lot in challenging Jonathan. I remember he once said dat Oshiomhole will be difficult to control as vp and So is also Amechi who has demonstrated to be radical. With Buhari/ Osibanjo, the coast Is now clear for gej to cruise to victory come february 2015. This reminds me wot the bible says; he who God has enthroned no man can dethrone. Long live gej, long live Nigeria 2 Likes |

mikeansy: He is a full of quality that cannot be challenged and he has a formidable political bigwigs around him to sell him. He is of top quality that will sell internationally because of his United nation work experience, his Legal Output in Nigeria Judiciary system, and again he is a re-known RCCG pastor. He shares only Pastoral function with Bakare but has lots of excellent qualities that Nigerian will adore. Can you compare him with Namadi Sambo. We both know the weight of Sambo. For Tinubu and South west counterpart to endorse him. The 6 states of southwest is a sure vote. Let us compare him with Sambo. Their achievement towards Nigeria's growth. 1 Like |

mikeansy: was Atiku a mere decoration in OBJ's first term?? we know who is a mere decoration when we see one. GEJ to Yar'adua and Sambo to GEJ are perfect examples of useless spare tires. Thank God Buhari has a reputation of delegating powers to his subordinates so you can be sure an APC vice president will have a job to do 7 Likes |

Very good Rèsumè. In fact intimidating. I guess time and confusion pushed them towards him. Well, I sure hope they know what they are doing sha. I hope he can be able to sway the "south west" votes for Buhari.  |

Aya, see PDP, TAN Ambassadors crying over another man's problem. APC is known for Technocrat Deputies. The popularity of Buhari and Tinubu alone is enough for PDP to battle with. If you condemn Yemi what will you say of Sambo. How popular is Sambo? Yemi dust him Internationally, Professionally, religiously, creatively, clean record (integrity like his boss Buhari), renown intellectual and an accepted ICON in Legal practice in Nigeria.Vote wise, Osinbajo political dynasty controls the political power of his region. Yemi Osinbajo don't need much media hype to be known, cos his service to Christianity (RCCG) in Nigeria alone will shoot him up. Aya, an na PDP start the religious card. Now APC have provided a candidate that are excellent in what ever service or function they participate. Be it religion and profession. TAN Ambassador How market. I dey Laugh ooooooooo. 8 Likes |

kenny091: I laugh in Mandarin at your naivety about politics and Tinubuian kind of maneuvers. Give it to the guy, his political wizardry is such that has never been seen in the cosmos called Nigeria. A man breaking the divides of religious and tribal politics and with Apc swayed the whole of the North and those that matters in the east, (the progressives) is not a man that functions on on auto pilot.The man Tinubu though i must quickly add is shameless pilferer and i have no shred of respect for him but take it or leave his political brilliance and strategic kinetics is quit astounding and second to none in the political history of our country. He has unfurled another of his chess move on PDP ,wait and see the result. the only way to stop Buhari is to stop Tinubu the irresistible force and immovable pillar. 4 Likes |
