Buhari and his “thing” for Pastors

Its 1:45am and I still cannot sleep knowing so well i need to be up by or before 6:30am... I can't count the number of times i have been to the kitchen/fridge going back and forth like someone MTN just surprised with an oil-well. But i am pretty sure everybody in the Villa(Aso rock) too is awake because of the same news.

I haven't been my normal self since i heard the news that Buhari picked Prof Yemi Osinbajo as his running mate. I see that as pure injustice when compared with our current ‘template’ VP, Yemi Osinbajo seems like the impossible person to be in politics with all his achievements.He became a professor of Law at the age of 37 (1994) and also a resident pastor at the Olive Tree House of Prayer for All Nations, Banana Island, a parish of the RCCG.  Yemi Osinbajo, 55, is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Senior Partner in the Law firm of Simmons Cooper Partners.

Yemi attended Corona School for his primary school education Between 1969- 1975, he attended Igbobi College Yaba where he won the following prizes;  the winner of the State Merit Award 1971; the School Prize for English Oratory, 1972; Adeoba Prize for English Oratory 1972-1975; Elias Prize for Best Performance in History (WASC) – 1973,  School Prize for Literature (HSC), 1975; African Statesman Intercollegiate Best Speaker’s Prize, 1974. His tertiary education was at the University of Lagos and the London School of Economics where he obtained the LLB and LLM degrees respectively.

He was appointed the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in 1999 and reappointed for a second term in 2003. During the period of his public service, he commenced the Lagos State justice reform project. A prominent feature of that project was the establishment of the Directorate for Citizens’ Rights (DCR) which provides free legal services and legal representation to indigent citizens of the state. This initiative gave a voice to many who would otherwise not have a way to access their rights.

Prior to that appointment, Osinbajo, a Professor of Law, was the Head of Public Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos.

Between 1988 and 1992, he was the Special Adviser to the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He also served as a staff member of the United Nations and Member of the United Nations’ Secretary General’s Committee of Experts on Conduct and Discipline of UN Peacekeeping personnel around the globe.

He is currently an Ethics Advisor to the Ethics Committee of the African Development Bank and is a non-executive Director of Citibank.

Prof. Osinbajo is Co-founder & Board Member Convention on Business Integrity and the Justice Research Institute Ltd. He has also authored several law books.

In 2007, Prof. and his wife Oludolapo founded “The Orderly Society Trust”, a non- governmental organization that is dedicated to the promotion of Christian ethics and orderliness.

As a sharp handsome young man during his intern with Obafemi Awolowo he discovered AWO'S grandchild (Dolapo) who he's married to with 3 lovely children.

At this crucial and trying time of our great Nation, where our budget is so confusing to our president that he can't  present it to the house, when our leaders can't stand against corruption, when 7 members of the House can impeach the speaker, when 16 is greater than 19, when our president can't tell us the truth about our numerous challenges,  When the president has never been wrong, when our leader cannot speak to us,  instead he kept sending Liar Okupe and SA Lying affairs Abati to respond to issues. What we need are men of integrity like Gen. Buhari , his combination with Prof/Pastor Yemi Osinbajo seems like an OVERDOSE of integrity/good leadership/development /Improve Power/Security and a better Nigeria

At last the Nation’s future is brighter... if only you can support GMB/PYO COME 2015

God bless Nigeria
