A video of Vice President, Yemi Osinabjo apologizing to Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the funeral service of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's mother, held at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Owo on Saturday, November 12 has gone viral.

Osibanjo made the apology after he unknowingly omitted the name of the All Progressive Congress (APC)'s presidential candidate as one of the guests at the occasion.

During his speech, the vice president was said to have mentioned the names of some former governors, chief judges, lawmakers, ministers, senators, and heads of organisations, but skipped that of Tinubu. Upon being reminded by his aide that he has failed to mention his former boss' 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.”
