Of course, someone recommended me for VP position – Osinbajo

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has said ‘somebody somewhere’ recommended him for the position he currently holds.

Osinbajo said this while speaking at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja at a dinner in honour of over 200 graduates and beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

“I was in a group of young men and women, and one of them asked the question: how did I become vice president? I was never a politician or anything like that. So, I tried to explain it is quite simple that someone somewhere has to recommend you. Somebody somewhere has to give you a helping hand.

“Whether to be a vice president or to be an aircraft pilot or to be an engineer, somebody somewhere has to give you an opportunity. And I think that all of you that are here today are the beneficiaries of the opportunities that you have somehow received.

“And this is why this event is so important. I think that it is one way we have to remind ourselves that we are bound as individuals to give opportunities to everyone,” Osinbajo said.

Recall that Prof John Paden who authored a biography on President Muhammadu Buhari had claimed Buhari choosed Osinbajo as his running mate despite pressure from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu against the decision.
