On the occasion of his 60th birthday, Nigeria’s acting president Yemi Osinbajo took a break from his busy schedule to serenade himself with an Igbo worship song alongside his wife, Dolapo.

In a footage posted on his Twitter page, Osinbajo is seen singing ‘Aka Jehovah’ by Gabriel Eziashi.

“Thank you everyone, for your kind words, I am humbled. I am grateful to God for 60 years. There is no me without Him. Saved by Grace alone,” he said in a message accompanying the footage.
