Late President Muhammadu Buhari proved that it is possible to serve in Nigeria with honesty and integrity, according to the Immediate Past Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Speaking during a short session to honour Buhari at the APC NEC meeting, Prof. Osinbajo said of the departed immediate past president that “in his many years in public service, he-Buhari- proved that you can serve with honesty, transparency & integrity.”

He added that as a converted Democrat, Buhari “showed a commitment to the rule of law. He ran for office thrice & and lost and pursued his rights in the courts, losing all three times. It was only at the 4th time that he won. He demonstrated belief in the Constitution and the rule of law.”

The former VP was invited to attend the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Thursday, the first since the passing of the former president.

Osinbajo, who is one of the founding fathers of the APC, served as deputy to late President Muhammadu Buhari for eight years.

Also in attendance at the APC NEC meeting was incumbent president, Bola Tinubu, his deputy Kashim Shettima, and other APC leaders across the country.
