Osinbajo has been chided on social media over his mockery of Osun-west lawmaker, dubbed the 'Dancing Senator'.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
The Senator representing Bayelsa East at the National Assembly, Ben Murray Bruce, has slammed the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo reportedly opting to learn the trending “shaku shaku” dance steps for electioneering.
The lawmaker berated the Vice President for not rather doing more to restore the country’s economy and providing jobs for the teaming jobless youths.
It was reported that Osinbajo had on Sunday disclosed that he was learning the ‘Shaku Shaku’ dance steps ahead of campaigns for the 2019 election.
He stated this when he appeared as a Special Guest of Honour at the launch of Five Fascinating Books written by Funmilayo Braithwaite.
Ben Bruce wondered why Osinbajo should be interested in dancing ‘shaku shaku’ when Nigeria is rated one of the poorest countries in the world.
Tweeting on Wednesday morning, the lawmaker said, “Under your watch, 11 million jobs created by other administrations have been lost, Naira has lost 80% of her value and Nigeria has been named the world headquarters for extreme poverty, yet @ProfOsinbajo’s priority is learning ‘shaku shaku’ dance? I would laugh if I wasn’t so sad.”
