Yemi Osinbajo: Before he was picked as Buhari’s running mate, few people outside the legal profession or the RCCG knew of Prof. Osinbajo.

In his two years in public office, Osinbajo has endeared himself to Nigerians by his willingness to communicate and a strong work ethic.  (Guardian)
As Buhari’s health faltered through 2017, the Vice-President held the fort in his place for a few months. His willingness to communicate and work ethic endeared him to many Nigerians.

While that may be too little to convince, many were impressed enough to promote the lawyer as a younger, better alternative, come 2019. But if he has heard this news, there is no sign from his camp.

The VP continues to fulfil many duties in Buhari’s place, even after the latter's return. This week, he is on a state visit to areas of Benue ravaged by blood.
