At a public event, Garba Shehu, the former spokesperson for ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, heaped praise on former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo Osinbajo.
The remark, made during a recent book launch and captured in a video shared by Symfoni TV, drew laughter and admiration from the audience.
Shehu described Professor Osinbajo as an “intellectual powerhouse,” commending his sharp intellect. He noted that Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo also shares the same level of intelligence.
Shehu mentioned that if Professor Osinbajo wasn’t a legal scholar or a man of God, both he and his wife would have been nuclear engineers, and they would have built nuclear bombs for Nigeria.
Shehu also used the occasion to recognize Baba Gana Kingibe, who was a running mate with the late MKO Abiola in the June 12, 1993 presidential election. He emphasized that the Buhari administration has officially acknowledged Kingibe as a former vice president.
In his words, “His Excellency Vice President Osinbajo is an intellectual powerhouse, and by coincidence, he has an equally intelligent wife. Excellency Dolapo”
“And I used to think that if Professor Osinbajo wasn’t a professor of law and he wasn’t into the calling of religion, he and his wife would have been fantastic nuclear engineers.”
“And they would have given this country a very early nuclear bomb. We would have passed that stage. We learned so much from him.”
“And I want to say something that I think is being skipped in the order of protocol. His Excellency Baba Gana Kingibe is also a vice president of Nigeria.”
“By the virtue of the recognition of President Muhammadu Buhari of the June 12th election as having produced a president for Nigeria and a vice president.”
“So both he and Chief MKO Abiola are deserving of all the honor that is due to former vice presidents and vice presidents.”
