Osinbajo will turn 64 years on Monday.
In a birthday message signed by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, Buhari described Osinbajo as “a reliable and dedicated deputy who is not only admirably competent, but also exudes confidence and passion in the performance of his job.”
“I’m proud to have selected Osinbajo as my running mate and he has given a good account of himself since our journey began in 2015.
“The Vice President is a cool-headed gentleman who puts the interest of Nigeria above other narrow considerations.”
