Wishing Muslims a happy celebration, the VP tweeted, “Barka Da Sallah to all our Muslim compatriots. As the commemoration of this important festival-Eid Al-Adha- goes on, we are reminded of the virtues of unity that underpin our nation, even as we share in the joy and the fellowship of the celebrations.
“Our prayer is that in this nation, peace will reign and together Nigeria will prosper and progress in our time.”
Nigerians on the social media platform had raised alarm over supposed tampering with the account of Prof. Osinbajo with many demanding that Twitter provide answers as to why Vice President Osinbajo’s account was unverified.
