We need Buhari’s kind of credibility to solve problems in Nigeria — VP Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has described President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s most popular politician whose credibility is needed in solving problems in the country.

“The President (Mr Buhari) is possibly the most popular Nigerian politician that we ever had in generations. He is possibly the only person who can go into a place or somewhere without bossing people to gather and they will come and listen to him speak,” Mr Osinbajo on Saturday said at an interactive session with top officials of Nigerian High Commission in the United Kingdom, held in Abuja.

“We need that level of credibility to be able to solve problems in our country. And I think because of his (Mr Buhari? level of credibility, despite everything, he is still the only one that can call everyone, and even people who do not necessarily agree with him know that he is a man of his words,” he added.
