I’ll serve with everything if I become president, says Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says he’ll serve the nation with all his heart if he becomes Nigeria’s president.

Osinbajo said this at the palace of the Lamido of Adamawa, His Royal Highness, Muhammadu Mustapha on Thursday.

According to him, his only reason for aspiring for the nation’s number one seat is to serve the Nigerian people.

“I have no other reason or objective except to serve.

“After one has been in office as Vice President for 7 years, I know that God did not give me that opportunity so that I would seat down somewhere and write the history of my service as Vice President.

“It is for the purpose of serving the people, and that is why I am so determined that if God gives me the opportunity to serve, the Nigerian people would realise indeed they have done the right thing by putting me in office because I would serve the country with everything, with all my heart and commitmen,” he said.

Responding, Lamido prayed for the realisation of the VP’s presidential aspiration.

“I hope your coming will add more light to Adamawa because you are the Jagaban of Adamawa. I hope you succeed in your efforts to become the President of this country. As long as when you’re coming to Adamawa, and with your visit to my palace, this will encourage people to see that you are really the Jagaba of Adamawa,” the Lamido said.

Adamawa Governor, Umaru Fintiri welcomed the VP to the State, adding that “we pray that God will answer your heart’s desires. I also hope that the APC delegates will see the reason to put a square peg in a square hole. I welcome you to Adamawa and I wish you the best of luck.”
