Why Osinbajo is a great leader – Sen. Gaya

The Senator representing Kano South, Kabiru Gaya has described the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo as a great leader and close associate of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Addressing State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday, Gaya also described Osinbajo as a humble man.

Gaya led a delegation from Kano State on a congratulatory visit to Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports.

He said: “First of all, I came here to congratulate our boss, our brother, vice president, a humble man, a pastor, a great leader, a close associate of President Buhari who the president is very pleased with to congratulate him for this reelection and me, too, I also won my election.

“ For the first time, Kano State delivered a 100 per cent for senators, a 100 per cent for House of Representatives, 24, the largest in the country.

“ We have the largest number of local governments in my constituency; we have 16 local governments more than some states in the federation and also twice, Bayelsa because Bayelsa is eight local governments.

“We had the hope that President Buhari will come back for a second term.

“As the Chairman, Senate Committee on Works two years ago, I was inspecting a road from one location to another and I said that the road would be completed within the first term of President Buhari and the second section would be done in the second term, people were surprised.

“But I know good people are supposed to be called to leadership again and Buhari is good; that is why we have to call him for a second term.

“I thank God he has won with a large number of votes even though there was low turnout of voters; we are happy that he is now the president-elect’’.

Gaya said he was looking forward to a peaceful 9th National Assembly as the All Progressives Congress (APC) already had 62 members andD still counting.
