Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will make a good entertainer after his regime.
The VP said this on Friday night while proposing a toast for Buhari, at a private dinner organised by his family and close associates to mark his 80th birthday at the State House Banquet Hall.
Citing the President’s “sense of humour,” Osinbajo said Buhari would make a good entertainer post presidency.
He recalled how the President used jokes to calm him down and retract his intention to submit a letter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, to investigate allegations of corruption levelled against him.
“Mr. President is a very humorous man and I think he would make a very good career in entertainment one way or the other when he retires. One day, I went to him because they were some allegations that were made against me. And I was so angry, so I went to him to show him the letter I had written to the EFCC to investigate.
He looked at it and looked at me and because he calls me VP or Professor depending on his mood. This time he said, ‘VP, why do you worry yourself about all these people. These people just make all sorts of allegations, they make all sorts of stories up, even they are saying that I am about to get married again. And even some foolish people were waiting at the National Mosque, waiting for me to come and marry again,” he said.
