Why I Want Osinbajo To Continue As Acting President – President Explains

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday asked Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to continue as the country’s acting President, pending his official resumption on Monday.

Buhari in a statement by Femi Adesina, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Osinbajo was doing a fantastic job while he was on a medical vacation abroad.

The President said that he “came back towards the weekend, so that the vice president will continue and I will continue to rest”

The statement reads: “The President is back. This is a day of joy. It is a splendid day. It is a day to give glory, honour and majesty to God.
The President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his appreciation once again to all those who prayed and all those who expressed goodwill towards him.

“He is a man, who loves our country; who is serving the country; who wants to see Nigeria take its place among the comity of nations.

“He knows that some people did mischief with what happened to him. He has learnt a lesson from it that there may be many devises in the heart of man, but it is the counsel of the Lord that shall stand. The counsel of the Lord concerning Nigeria is that the President should return, and he has returned to continue with the good work.

“While the President was away, the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, who is the Vice-President, did a fantastic job. They will continue to do the job together to the glory of God and to the good of our country.”
