I have made a very big error - Osinbajo apologises to Tinubu

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made an apology to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress at the funeral service of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's mother, held at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Owo on Saturday, November 12.

His apology comes after mistakenly omitting Tinubu's name as one of the guests of honour during his introduction.

Whiles addressing the congregation, the vice president was said to have mentioned the names of some former governors, chief judges, lawmakers, ministers, senators, and heads of organisations, but forgot that of Bola Tinubu.

After he was reminded by his aide that he has forgot to mention Tinubu's 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.”
