Many groups in the country, prominent Nigerians, and the Nigerian masses have continued to endorse the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to run for the office of President in the 2023 presidential election. Although both men of the APC party, have not officially declared their interest to run for the 2023 presidency, insight has been given on the possibility that they will declare their intention soon enough....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Interestingly, news-making rounds since last weeks have been on the revelation of a Northern Statesman, Tanko Yakasai who disclosed to Punch, that Bola Tinubu visited him in his Abuja residences, to tell him about his plan to run for the presidency and also to seek his support, to win the race. Tanko Yakasai disclosed that Tinubu has his support, he, however, stated that the important thing is to win the party’s primary election then, things will move up from that point. Both Tinubu and Osinbajo have been two great representatives of the Southwest region and the APC political party.
They are both holding, good positions, Bola Tinubu is the National Chairman of the APC party, while Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on the other hand is the Vice President of the country. These are two very influential men in the APC party, the Southwest region and the entire country. You will recall that one of the bones for contention, ahead of the 2023 general election has been which region, should the next president of the country emerge from. The Southwest region, the Northern region, the North central, and the Southeast are all looking to produce the next president.
These regions, maybe laying claim to the presidency, what matters most is the candidate who can win the primary election of any of the political parties. The All Progressives Congress (APC) party is currently having internal issues of fractions, however, if the challenge is dealt with, and the party goes on to hold her convention, and also a primary election, between Tinubu and Osinbajo who has more influence to win the party’s primary election? That’s if they both decide to run for the 2023 presidency?
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has been in politics for a very long time, he is the former governor of Lagos State, and one of the contributors to the success story of the APC party. Tinubu also has a good influence in the Northern region of the country. On the other hand, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been commended by Nigerians on how he has carried himself so far, as the Vice President of the country. In my opinion, Osinbajo has what it takes to become the next President of the country, being in power so far, he understands the plight of the people, he displayed character, one can believe he will be impactful if he becomes the next President.
