As a journalist, Osoba's depth and commitment to serving the nation are traits that have earned him respect from his peers and the public.

In his words, Tinubu expressed his admiration for Osoba's consistency, saying: ">What I admire most in Aremo is his consistency. In public and in private, he is the same man. He will call to ask about your family before discussing your schedule. He will send a handwritten note, not out of necessity but because courtesy matters. He will firmly disagree with you, then walk with you to your car, because the argument is about the work and its outcome, not about the person. "
Their shared ideals are a guiding force in Nigeria's pursuit of excellence. As Tinubu wishes Osoba more healthy years, their work and friendship continue to inspire Nigerians towards a brighter future.
