The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo has said that the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the right kind of leadership qualities that can move Nigeria forward.
Osinbajo, who served as attorney-general and commissioner of justice of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 under the government of Tinubu, said that the then governor appointed him Commissioner without having ever met him in person.
Speaking during an event to mark the 50th Lagos anniversary, the Acting President commended Tinubu for taking cognisance of the diversity of the state while forming his cabinet in 1999, saying: “I did not and I had never met Bola Tinubu before I was appointed commissioner and that says a lot about the kind of individual that he is.
“This is the kind of thinking that makes nations great; that is the kind of thinking that would make Nigeria great. A type of thinking that considers all of our diverse talents; a kind of thinking that does not allow parochialism; a kind of thinking that does not allow us to say anywhere belongs to only a set of people. That is when our country would be truly great.” [myad]
