The Emir of Daura, Alhaji (Dr) Umar Farouk Umar, has described Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as a noble man who keeps his promises, someone he said can be trusted, a honest man, who has so much patience and knows what to do at any given time.
Emir Umar said this on Saturday, speaking in his palace, as Vice President Osinbajo, witnessed the turbaning ceremony of Alhaji Yusuf Buhari, the President’s son, as the Talban Daura, a District Head title, in Daura, Katsina State, at a well attended event graced by dignitaries from across the country.
The monarch said: “We extend our appreciation to His Excellency, the representative of the President. The VP, he is a noble man who keeps his promises and a trustworthy person who has so much patience and knows what to do at any given time. The VP is a very good man; he is my favorite person. He is a very nice and honest man.”
The Emir, who praised President Buhari for his leadership qualities, said power belongs to God and He gives it to whoever He pleases, adding that the Daura Emirate Council decided to honour Mr. President and his family with the traditional title being conferred on Yusuf Muhammadu Buhari, especially since the President won’t be able to take any other title considering his current position as Nigeria’s leader.

He added also that Daura has been transformed under the leadership of the President, lauding him for the developmental strides witnessed so far.
