Akeredolu’s Mother’s Funeral : Osinbajo apologises for failing to acknowledge Tinubu
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday, November 12, apologised to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for skipping his name at the funeral service of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s mother.
At the funeral service of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s mother, held at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Owo on Saturday, November 12, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made an apology to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Osinabjo made the apology after he unknowingly omitted the name of the All Progressive Congress (APC)’s presidential candidate as one of the guests at the occasion, The Cable reports.
During his speech, the vice president was said to have mentioned the names of some former governors, chief judges, lawmakers, ministers, senators, and heads of organisations, but skipped that of Tinubu. Upon being reminded by his aide that he has failed to mention his former boss’ name, Osinbajo quickly said:
“Before I go on, I have made a very big error. I have left out the presidential candidate of our great party, the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “The Emilokan. Asiwaju, I’m sorry. He was sitting right next to me. Not just sitting right next to me, but right in front of me, but I honour you and welcome you to this event.”
