Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has looked back with gratitude on his survival of a helicopter crash that occurred seven years ago in Kabba, Kogi State. On Monday, Osinbajo shared a reflective and thankful message on his official Instagram page, giving thanks to God for sparing his life and the lives of others involved in the incident. In an emotional post filled with praise and worship, the former Vice President expressed deep gratitude, acknowledging what he described as God’s constant faithfulness throughout his life. Recalling the incident, Osinbajo noted that everyone on board the helicopter miraculously escaped without a single injury. “Seven years ago, You carried every one of us out of that helicopter crash without a single scrape. Not one life lost. Not one wound left behind. Only mercy. Only grace,” he wrote. He added that the experience remains a powerful reminder of divine protection, describing God as the “God of my journey” who brought them safely out of the crash. Osinbajo’s wife, Dolapo Osinbajo, also took to Instagram to remember the incident and offer thanks to God for what she called a great deliverance. “Remembering the helicopter crash of 2nd February 2019. I give praise and thanks to God for His great deliverance,” she wrote, quoting Psalm 104:1b. The helicopter crash occurred in February 2019, when the aircraft conveying the then Vice President crash-landed in Kabba, Kogi State. Thankfully, no one was injured. The incident marked the second air mishap Osinbajo survived within seven months at the time. Seven years on, the former Vice President says the experience continues to stand as a testimony of grace, mercy, and preservation.
