I served Tinubu, others in their difficult times – Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said he served all his principals with utmost loyalty during their difficult moments.

Osinbajo was the Attorney General of Lagos State when Bola Tinubu was the governor, from 1999 to 2007.

Presently, he is the second-in-command to President Muhammadu Buhari, who chose him as his running mate in 2015 and 2019.

As the 2023 presidential election draws closer, Osinbajo has declared his interest to take over from his principal, Buhari.

But, his ambition seems to be clashing with that of his former principal, Tinubu, who is also interested in the presidency, calling it a lifelong ambition.

Many have since tagged Osinbajo a betrayer, saying he ought not to jostle for the presidency when he was aware Tinubu is also eyeing the office.

However, Osinbajo has subtly replied those describing him as a betrayer, revealing that he has never betrayed any of those he served.

According to him, he stood with all his principals when their jobs and lives were being threatened.

In some cases, the Vice President said he was the only one standing when others have left those principals.
