Osinbajo, like Tinubu, bags Jagaban title

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been conferred with the Chieftaincy title of Jagaban by the Lamido Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa.

This was made known by his media aide, Laolu, Akande’s tweet.

The VP is rumoured to be Aso Villa’s preferred presidential contestant, while Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Osinbajo’s political godfather, is already in the race.

Tinubu had long been conferred with the title of Jagaban Borgu.

Osinbanjo who came to Adamawa for an official visit was decorated as the Jagaban Adamawa by the royal father Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa.
