I Have Not Had Any Issue With Buhari Since 2015 – Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a model leader who respects other people’s beliefs, saying he has not had any dispute with him since they took over power in 2015.

Osinbajo said this when the Senegal-based Grand Khalifa of Tijjaniya Movement, Worldwide, His Eminence, Sheikh Muhammadu Mahi Ibrahim Niass, paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa on Saturday evening.

“President Buhari is a serious Muslim and I am a pastor, both of us have worked together for about 7 years, we have not had any issues,” the vice president’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, quoted him as saying.

“The President has shown great leadership, he has shown that he wants a country where people of different faiths live in harmony and with love for one another.”

The former Lagos State commissioner also reiterated the importance of religion to human development, calling for the promotion of peace using faiths.

Several nations, he said, have benefited immensely from the impact of religion – both spiritually and physically.

“So, we must use religion in our countries (in Africa) to help our people to live better lives because, in other parts of the world, leaders of faith have used religion to better the lives of the people,” Osinbajo told the cleric.
