Jubilant Nigerians have reacted to the first official viral photo of the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, released on his social media handles where he was seen standing on his feet with his wife, Dolapo, alongside the Duchess Hospital medical team.

As the photo was published on his official social media handles on Sunday, July 24, 2022, the Vice President appreciated the Nigerian people for their show of love, and their best wishes and get-well-soon messages, while he also commended the medical team for “providing such an excellent care.”

He wrote: “My deep gratitude to everyone for your get-well wishes and prayers following my surgery.

“And special appreciation to the amazing team of surgeons, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and the management of the Duchess International Hospital Lagos, for providing such excellent care”

“God bless you all.”

VP Osinbajo on Saturday, July 16, went under the knife to repair his thigh bone at Duchess International Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos State.

After the successful surgery, the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Adedoyin Dosunmu-Ogunbi, who gave an update on the VP’s health said Osinbajo was making steady progress and now walking.

“He is walking already, taking a few steps. You can imagine after a major surgery in his right femur bone; that is very encouraging as he continues to recover,” Dosunmu-Ogunbi said

Reacting to Osinbajo’s ‘thank you’ message, many Nigerians took to Twitter to express a sigh of relief at the VP’s quick recovery rate, as they further urged him to be strong, with many saying they were eager to see him return to work.

A responder, Adewumi Collins, who described Osinbajo as “stronger” welcoming him back, wrote: He is up standing again. He’s back stronger and healthier.
Osinbajo is saying “thank you” all for the abundant wishes he got when he went under the knife.PYO is the matter.

Thank the doctor who did the surgery.

He can die for all we care.

His life is not more precious to the lives of millions of Nigerians killed due to him and his boss's actions and inactions

APC really dealt with Nigerians

Beta pikin

Duchess hospital did a wonderful and delightful job.

Thank God our VP is hale and healthy

Congratulations.

Osinbajo is a pacesetter. Our political class much end medical tourism.

Ehya, congratulations

Abi na tru tru say guy man no get any impact na just figure head....

Thank God our VP is hale and healthy

Why are you disturbing God like as if osinbanjo have done anything to deserve all the accolades

Bishop Agbadoola Cassavani who claimed to have developed Lagos State can never use any Lagos hospital he developed.

That's my man

Must someone be sick to rule nigeria ?

Let's break the law

Thank God for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and I’m so glad he’s recuperating well. Also, we will forever appreciate him for trusting our health care system and for leading by example.

Congratulations to him.

Thank God there was no complications that could have justified other medical trips.

Congratulations

Amen

Glory be to God for giving you sound health

Oyibo God no send Nigeria las las...

President - Sick
VP - sick
Electricity - Epileptic
Education - Coma
Economy - Sleeping Sickness
Naira - Cemetery
National Treasury - Serious Diarrhoea

Except you're seriously sick in your medulla oblongata you'll not be clamouring for another sick President...

At least Nigerians can now trust our health system since Osinbajo is setting a new pace.
We are happy our VP is back on his feet

Buhari will not like this...

The best VP in the history of Nigeria.

Speedy recovery to you sir ,.

I Love PMB

I Love BAT

I Love PYO
