Vice president Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is no doubt one of the most down to earth person and leader we have gotten so far. The news of his humbleness was further broadcasted by a female photographer in an encounter with him.

Read her encounter with the VP below;

Today I have seen and felt the change we have craved and chanted for so long. Today I have seen humility like no other. Today I have seen the face of a new Nigeria. I walked into chop sticks and there he was, full of smiles as my eye caught his.

He was having a meeting with someone. With only one Security aid, he sat in a full restaurant. No restrictions whatsoever. People walked in and out freely like it was any other day.

As I approached him, his aid stopped me with a very straight and unfriendly face and immediately he called out to him.. “Let her come, please let her come”. After talking, I asked if I could take a picture and he was more than happy to pose. As I took this snap, he said “I’m glad you didn’t catch me eating” ??
