Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday revealed that when President Muhammadu Buhari had health issues and had to travel to London for medical care the president prepared himself for the worst.
According to Osinbajo, Buhari instructed him to carry on with the administration of the country unhindered, a comment he (Osinbajo) took for a joke.
The vice president also revealed that once or twice, while Buhari was recuperating in London, he sought his approval or clarification on state matters but Buhari simply told him to “just carry on with your good works,” and then asked, “What if I drop dead?”
Osinbajo made these revelations at the public presentation of the book, ‘Making Steady, Sustainable Progress’, authored by the president’s media team, Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu, and Laolu Akande.
Osinbajo noted that the book, which captured the modest achievements of the Buhari administration, was silent on the humorous nature of the president and his zero-tolerance for wastefulness of national resources.
