Former Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on Friday paid a visit to former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, at his residence in Lagos. The visit took place ahead of Fayose’s 65th birthday, which will be celebrated on November 15, 2025.
Osinbajo’s visit was to personally congratulate Fayose before the birthday, as he would not be available on the celebration date. During the visit, the former Vice President commended Fayose for his strong will and dedication to his beliefs, describing him as a man known for his resilience and courage in public life.
The two political figures, who have often been on opposite sides of Nigeria’s political divide, exchanged warm pleasantries during the meeting, reflecting mutual respect despite their differing political affiliations. The atmosphere at Fayose’s Lagos home was cordial, as the visit drew attention from close associates and well-wishers present.
Osinbajo’s gesture has been seen as one that reflects maturity and goodwill, especially in Nigeria’s often divided political space. The meeting comes as preparations continue for Fayose’s upcoming 65th birthday celebration, which is expected to attract friends, political allies, and admirers from across the country.
