Says VP best for Nigeria
Hassan Umar Farouk
Supporters of the Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, have embarked on a solidarity march across Abuja, convincing Nigerians that the Vice-President is the best candidate for the All Progressive Congress, (APC).
The exercise, titled: Joint March in Support of Osinbajo in 2023, commenced from his Campaign office at Buchanan Crescent, opposite Aguiyi Ironsi street, Wuse II Abuja, to the Wuse Central Market and then proceeded to the Unity Fountain in the centre of the federal capital.
Various groups who have been rooting for the Vice-President to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari participated in the march, with the aim of raising awareness among Nigerians that it is only Osinbajo who can restore Nigeria to its glorious days.
Speaking after the march, the Director-General of the Osinbajo Campaign, Senator Kabir Gaya, who hails from Kano State, elaborated on the purpose of the event, saying: We have hope that Osibanjo will win the 2023 Presidential election, adding that the purpose was to bring the well-wishers and all support groups together to promote the candidate.
Senator Gaya also said that from their experience during a visit to his State to meet with party delegates, it was clear that the Vice-President has an overwhelming support base, adding that he is loved by many Nigerians, who are confident that he will emerge victorious in the APC presidential primaries.
While stating that youths and elders are excitedly behind the Vice-President, Gaya said there is a need for the delegates and the party to consider the person who is already part of the system, rather than voting for those who will start afresh and begin to look for files.
Gaya also recalled how Osinbajo performed above board when the President was away, pointing out that that alone is enough reason to back him for President. He said no government is perfect across the world, adding that Osinbajo has seen where President Buhari made mistakes and where he achieved success, hence he will consolidate in areas of success and rejig areas where the administration erred.
Also speaking, the organiser of the event, Hajiya Rabi Dauda, expressed confidence that the Vice-President will defeat other aspirants to clinch the APC ticket in the presidential primary election of the party.
She said the essence of the march is to create awareness, especially among parents, to know that there is a need to vote with their conscience. She said parents should understand that an Osinbajo Presidency will guarantee peace and unity of Nigeria.
Speaking further, Rabi Dauda said parents should know that the future of their children is tied to the votes they cast, urging them not to sell the future of their kids by selling their votes, adding that any money they collect from aspirants will finish, however, the future of their children shall remain in the hands of bad, incompetent and corrupt leaders.
