The acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said the relationship between him and President Muhammadu Buhari remains cordial because the president treats him (Osinbajo) like a son.
According to a series of tweets posted on the Twitter handle of his spokesman, Laolu Akande, @akandeoj, on Thursday, the acting President spoke at the palace of the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumin Usman, during his visit to the state for the inauguration of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Clinic.
“I feel very much at home in Katsina. More so, because this is the state of the President who has taken me as a brother.
“In fact, the President has taken me as a son in the way he treats me,” Akande quoted the 60-year-old Osinbajo as saying about the 74-year-old Nigerian leader.
Osinbajo was reported to have also said with the kind of responsibilities assigned to him, Buhari had left no one in doubt that both of them could live and work together as brothers.
While saying that the President believes in the unity of the country, the acting President prayed that God would preserve Buhari who is currently on medical vacation in London, the United Kingdom.
“The amount of responsibilities President Buhari has given me shows he seriously believes we can live together as brothers.
“I pray the Lord will preserve our President to continue to lead as the nation has voted him to do. He seriously believes in Nigeria’s unity,” he added.
