Buhari treats me like one of his sons – Osinbajo

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari treats him as one of his sons.

Osinbajo stated this on Thursday during his visit to Katsina State for the launch of the micro small and medium enterprises (MSME) clinic in the state.

Shortly after his arrival in the state, the acting president proceeded to the palace of Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumuni Usman.

A statement by the spokesman of the acting President, Mr. Laolu Akande, quoted Osinbajo as saying that there is a unique relationship between President Buhari and his humble self as he treats him like his son.

He said: “In fact, the president has taken me as a son in the way he treats me. 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.

“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 Nigerian unity,” he added.

Osinbajo was further quoted to have restated the Federal Government’s commitment to the ease of doing business in the country.

He disclosed that even on Thursday, the Corporate Affairs Commission succeeded in registering three companies within two hours.

This, he said, was an evidence of government’s commitment.

Akande also quoted the Emir as saying, while welcoming Osinbajo, that unity among people of different faiths and ethnic backgrounds was necessary.
