Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been told to shelve his rumoured presidential ambition in 2023 and support the ambition of the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to express his appreciation of all that he has benefited from the former Lagos state Governor
The FCT chapter of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG) which made the call Thursday in Abuja, reminded the Vice President that he has been a major benefactor of Bola Tinubu’s goodwill, noting that running against him should mean a stab at his back
Addressing a press conference Thursday in Abuja, FCT chairman of the Tinubu Support Groups (TSG), and former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Zephaniah Jisalo, reminded Osinbajo that he has been a core member of the Tinubu political family all his life, adding that Osinbajo’s rumoured ambition will be sorted out within the political family.
Hon Jisalo said: “The issue in question no one can answer it. But I know and believe that Osinbajo knows what he is doing. I believe he knows who his mentor is, and whatever anybody is thinking or hearing, or trying to ask Osinbajo to contest against his mentor, I don’t think it is realistic. So, we will wait and see it. And we also have responsibility to make sure that such does not happen.
“You know the contest is open. And we are not afraid of whoever is going to contest against Asiwaju but I am saying being an experienced politician respect is expected on who is due.”
“We have seen him as a man of integrity. We see him as a man who likes justice. We see in him a man who wants to carry all Nigerians to the promise land. And that is why this morning we are here again to thank him for his declaration and for accepting the demands that he will contest the presidential election.
“By the grace of God, we are convinced that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only man who will rule this country in 2023. I thank you very much for coming around. I thank all the people that have put their heads together to make sure that we realize these ambition. Thank you and God bless you.”
