In Osinbajo’s office, we work till nine, sometimes midnight: Official
Laolu Akande, the spokesman for Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, says individuals in the Vice-President’s Office are inspired by their principal and sometimes work until midnight.
According to Mr Akande, the average closing time in the Vice President’s Office in the past eight years has been 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. He said that on many occasions, people in the office had been at work past midnight as excellence spared no effort.
Mr Osinbajo exists to inspire to build a better future for individuals, groups and the country, the vice-president’s media stated.
“The place of inspiration and imagination in the pursuit of personal or national fulfilment is not only pivotal but also irreplaceable and this is why people who can inspire must remain in front,” added Mr Akande. “What I have come to know about the vice-president is that he is an inspirer, and watching him do things is in itself an inspiration.”
He stated this in a congratulatory message to his principal, who turned 66 on Wednesday.
“People like that exist to inspire individuals, groups and nations to attain goals and objectives that advance their causes and lead irrevocably to greatness,” the media aide stressed. “He provokes something in people such that conduces towards excellence, endurance and empathy, attributes that he himself exemplifies. He exudes excellence; so that people can discover hidden capacities.”
Mr Akande added, “So, today, as the vice-president turns 66, I wish him a happy birthday and many happy returns. My dear boss, and Nigeria’s number two citizen, we pray that as your days, so shall your strength, wisdom and favour be with God and man.”
