OSINBAJO, “A Man of the people”

By Omololu Kassim
For a moment, I stopped thinking that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,SAN, GCON, is a Senior Advocate Of Nigeria. Yes, for a moment, I stopped thinking that the man is a professor of Law, what is generally perceived as an elitist profession.

I stopped thinking that he belonged to the ruling class, the bourgeoisie, the Second Citizen of Nigeria, with the prestigious GCON, the Grand Commander of the Niger, adorning his collar.

Yes, for a moment, I stopped thinking that this is the man who wields such enormous powers that sacked the D.G. of DSS, Lawal Daura following the security invasion of the National Assembly.

Then, I started thinking of Osinbajo as a quintessential dramatist who plays the part of “Baba-Oloja” the Grand Patron of Market Women. Does he not fit this role?

As I saw the Vice President tucked himself among market women of Nyanyan market on the boundary of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with Mararaba in Nasarawa State, I wondered if Osinbajo remembered that this was the same market whose motor garage was dastardly bombed by satanic Boko Haram a few years ago.

More importantly, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo reminded me of China Achebe’s heroic politician in his satirical novel, “A man of the People,” as he meanders through the markets to propagate the doctrine of TRADER MONI.
This is unprecedented!
Never in the history of Nigeria’s political experience. – or even Military autocracy – have we had a government who would dish out money, no matter how small, without collateral security, and without paying interest to the lowest level of the socioeconomic ladder.
This gesture has endeared Professor Yemi Osinbajo to the man-in-the-street.
I won’t be surprised if the man wins a popular election, going by his popularity with the masses, because he has now become A MAN OF THE PEOPLE!

A good man limited by his position!

Nice one baba kekere

Imagine celebrating a mediocre, terrorist and fake pastor like Osibanjo

Who made him a man of the people.

The guy is as evil as buhari....infact I dare say that even buhari is a lesser evil to osibanjo.

The Vice President has actually demonstrated high level of humility and administrative excellence in the governance of this country. May God continue to strengthen him for us

if Osibanjo had been the flag bearer of APC,no one would ever opt for another option... but since the coin has turn the other way round,PDP remains the best option.

Osibanjo is no different from the typical character of a yoruba man.

As for buhari he is a forgotten issues....a very wicked man.
