Reacting to trail the high powered bilateral meeting between Prof. Osinbajo and his US counterpart, Vice President Kamala Harris, popular Nollywood actor, Walter Anga opined that the leadership Osinbajo provides is one the highlight of the Buhari administration.
“This past 7 years of Buhari would have been better if Osinbajo was the person travelling and meeting with other world leaders. But the cabals no gree the man see road.”
Responding to his post, some of his followers agreed with his claim. @Amoo_kay wrote: “if this guy was APC candidate, I don’t think we’ll have a problem now.” In a similar vein, @binee2gee2 wrote: “They chose Tinubu over this man and it amazes me. Captain Nigeria!”

@DJ x-ray shared similar sentiment. “APC had a smart card to play with this man and win 2023 but rather went for Agbado and beans.”
For @bmtogb4, Osinbajo tick all the boxes “If not for godfatherism, how is this person not a presidential candidate, instead of the other one, it’s really sad. A man as eloquent, intelligent, smart and healthy as this…”
