See nature at work: The Vice President, Professor Remi Osinbajo, and acclaimed fuji musician, Was Ayinde K1 de Ultimate, are age mates.
They are both 63, and some will find it interesting that K1, who was recently installed the Mayegun of Yorubaland by the Allan of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, is even a little older as he clocked 63 about three days ago, with Osinbajo attaining the landmark on Sunday, March 8.
While many celebrities have been celebrating the musician, including popular Yoruba actor, Ogogo, who woke up Was with an oral performance troupe, prominent people have been congratulating Osinbajo too.
Among them is the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who described him as a symbol of loyalty.
Tinubu, in a congratulatory message by his Media Aide, Mr Tunde Rahman, on Saturday in Lagos, commended Osinbajo for his dedication and selfless service to the nation.
“I congratulate Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on turning 63.
“An erudite legal luminary, Osinbajo’s reputation for loyalty, dedication and selflessness is well deserved.
“He is resolutely committed to the causes he believes in and has proven to be a dependable ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, working harmoniously with the President to deliver for the country.
“I recall with fond memories the time we worked together along with other technocrats to help lay a solid foundation for an egalitarian and prosperous Lagos.
“We used the instrumentality of the law to advance the course of restructuring and get for Lagos what rightly belongs to her,” he said
According to him, most of the landmark cases Lagos won at the Supreme Court bore Osinbajo’s imprint.
“I wish his wife, Dolapo Osinbajo, and other members of the family a most memorable celebration.
“My prayer God Almighty grant Osinbajo continued good health, renewed vitality and many more years of service to the country,” Tinubu said.
