Major things Osinbajo can venture into after leaving the office on May 29
Some of what Osinbajo can do after leaving office:
Grow his law firm:
Osinbajo is a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), a title that is evergreen in his name and this qualified him to return to law practice after leaving office.
After the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election, the vice president was appointed as the legal adviser of the APC presidential campaign council to look into all the litigations filed against the party and Tinubu by the opposition.
He can as well take a position at the international criminal court as he remained one of the vibrant legal practitioners that Nigeria has produced.
Envoy One position that would befit the vice president is to become an envoy either to the United Nations or the African Union.
He can take any position in the United Nations such as secretary-general or deputy secretary-general, a position he can only attain by appointment and the support of the current administration.
Pastor
Although it might look unacceptable to many that the vice president might move from the political space to the pulpit, but it is more likely to happen because that is where he began his life.
Osinbajo was a pastor before venturing into politics and there is nothing stopping the outgoing leader from returning to the pulpit.
