Another tweep, Philip James noted that; “Prof Osinbajo has always stood for the rule of law and in the interest of all Nigerians, regardless of ethnicity. As Acting President, he fired the former DG, SSS when he violated the sanctity of the National Assembly and the Nigerian constitution.”

For Chukwuemeka Chukwunenye, VP Osinbajo has defied the normal expectations by spearheading a number of projects aimed at making life a bit easier for people in a country where daily existence is hard.

Akintunde Babatunde, a verified user on the micro-blogging platform said; “#TheOsinbajoStory is trending. Received a pdf on WhatsApp some days on his impacts so far as VP. Not sure why all this for a man who hasn’t declared his intention to run. Wetin dey occur?”

Another Twitter user @dominokroos pointed out that; “In as much as VP Osinbajo may seem to be an ideal President, we shouldn’t forget if he does become our president, he’ll be the worst puppet we’ve ever seen in Nigerian politics. We need someone to rule use with his own initiatives and not by proxy.

The vice president is tipped to be one of the top contenders for the forthcoming polls although he is yet to openly declare his ambition.
