The vice-president, who also spoke to State House correspondents, described the visit as memorable.
”I thought it will be a good thing to come and say ‘hello’ to Mr President and wish him a Merry Christmas.
”I usually spend the Christmas in Lagos with my family, but this Christmas, we are in Abuja. So, we thought it’s a good thing to come and greet Mr President and wish him a Merry Christmas, talk and have a good time.
”I came with the entire family,” he said.
Osinbajo also used the opportunity to reassure Nigerians of the unshakable resolve and genuine commitment of the Buhari administration to live enduring legacies in critical economic sectors for posterity.
