Like former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been conferred with the title of Jagaban.
While Tinubu, whom Osinbajo served under as attorney general and commissioner for justice in Lagos between 1999 and 2007, is Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom in Niger State, the latter is Jagaban of Adamawa in Adamawa State.
Osinbajo was conferred with the title by the Lamido of Adamawa, Barkindo Mustafa, on Thursday.
The news was confirmed on Twitter by spokesman of the vice president, Laolu Akande.
