Specifical­ly, on his visit to the state on Monday to meet with delegates and stakeholde­rs of the ruling All Progressiv­es Congress ( APC), Osinbajo received the endorsemen­t of Governor Inuwa Yahaya and the blessings of Emir of Gombe, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu Abubakar, as well as stakeholde­rs in the state.
