“Ayo has proved to be a creative and faithful storyteller of the political journey of the charismatic and photogenic speaker,” Osinbajo said.
“I really think Ayo has done a good job. But I think the job was made easier by the fact that his subject is one of the most resilient, one of the most resourceful and most successful Nigerian politicians, having won elections five times in the last 18 years.
