Yemi Osinbajo, the vice president of Nigeria, joined other world leaders on Monday to honor the memory of the late Queen Elizabeth II in a gesture of goodwill and unity.
According to Track News, world leaders, including Commonwealth members, Heads of State, Governors-General, Prime Ministers, and representatives of foreign royal families, attended the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was buried on Monday following a historic state funeral.
After attending the State Funeral Service for the late Queen of England at Westminster Abbey on Monday, Osinbajo spoke to journalists during a media conference and highlighted that the grouping of world leaders was growing.
For nations like ours, Nigeria, and the Commonwealth, this has been extremely ennobling and strengthening, according to Osinbajo.
“I’m sure King Charles felt not only the honor of having so many visitors, but also the reassurance that there is a brotherhood throughout the world and that the Commonwealth remains strong, a Commonwealth of free nations who voluntarily subscribe to coming together and working together to achieve sometimes disparate political objectives, but clear economic objectives.”
According to Prof. Osinbajo, who was speaking about the event’s significance, “it is a historic event and one that is unlikely to happen, perhaps in another lifetime, just the sheer enormity of all that has happened and the gathering of leaders from everywhere, the good will, the good wishes, and all of that from practically everywhere around the world.”
The Vice President continued, “So, I think that this has truly been a monument to the kind of person the Queen was — in life and death, she drew people together and perhaps even more so in death.”
A happy reign for King Charles lll was then prayed for by the Vice President, who noted that “one wishes King Charles very well indeed, and I think we are all anxious that he succeeds.”
