Many Nigerians on social media came out on Sunday in solidarity with Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN, following a recent surgical operation on his leg at the Duchess International Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos.
They all took to their social media accounts on Sunday, July 17, 2022, to show love and pray for the ailing Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN, who, on Saturday underwent a surgical operation on his leg at the Lagos hospital.
The news broke out through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, relaying the news on his social media platforms; Twitter and Facebook. The Vice President afterwards took to his media pages to confirm the news.
The news was received by Nigerians who despite party affiliations registered their love and support and also wished him a speedy recovery.
While praying for him to “get well soon,” Osinbajo was equally praised for making the details of his health public and also for patronizing a Nigerian medical facility. Many opined that it was never a habit of Nigerian politicians who mostly are fond of concealing their health status from the public.

Osinbajo has always been an advocate for people to patronise made in Nigeria products. And one of the reasons he has captured the Nigerian business community in a programme called the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Clinc to promote homemade innovations and businesses.
Below are some of the tweets:
Osinbajo is transparent enough with Nigerians by providing updates about his medical status which is alien to many Nigerians. The Nigerian people are not used to a situation where Nigerian leaders provide updates about their health status.#GetWellSoonPYO #NigeriansLovePYO pic.twitter.com/UYHudbe9rt
