Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says President Muhammadu Buhari is the kind of leader that Nigeria needs at a time like this.

He said apart from having the right qualities to lead Nigeria, Buhari has been “operating from a genuine heart”, saying that God has a purpose for choosing the president to serve at this time.

He added that he has had a good working relationship with his boss.

The Vice-President was speaking at the presidential villa in Abuja on Friday, when he received a delegation of the Deeper Christian Life Church, led by Williams Kumuyi, general superintendent of the church.

“Though some people say President Muhammadu Buhari is strict because of his forthrightness, he is the kind of leader we need now, a president who will not cut deals and who is only interested in moving Nigeria forward,” he said.

“We are very happy that we have a president who is honest, a president who is straight forward, a president who is operating from the genuineness of his heart, this is the kind of leader that we need now.

“We have worked together very, very well. The reason (we are here at this time,) is known to the Lord Himself. Everyday I wake up knowing there is a cause for being here and it is to move the country forward.”

Kumuyi is in Abuja for a crusade of the church.
