Ebunoluwa2020:
The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, is set to declare his interest in the 2023 presidential election tomorrow, Monday, capping months of behind-the-scene – yet apparent – mobilisations that have fuelled speculations and pitted the No 2 against his erstwhile boss Bola Tinubu.

According to sources with knowledge of the plans, except there is a change, Mr Osinbajo’s declaration will not involve any formal event or public gathering.

Rather, he will release a recorded video of about seven to 10 minutes, addressing the public and declaring his 2023 ambition to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.

The video will be distributed across his social media handles and the sources said the campaign team will get to working immediately afterwards.

This style is different from how others had previously gone about declarations.

Former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha addressed a public gathering sharing a pattern with former Rivers State Governor and transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi, who announced his intention before a filled stadium in Port Harcourt on Thursday.

Mr Tinubu, former Lagos Governor, and Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi spoke to the press directly after having, separately, met with Mr Buhari at the State House.

However, Mr Osinbajo’s announcement video will be preceded by a ceremonial iftar – the Muslim break of Ramadan – with APC governors at his official residence tonight, sources said.

At the gathering, he is going to inform the governors of his intention to contest; though, he had previously told each of them individually.

Meanwhile, in preparation for the battle to pick the APC ticket, the Osinbajo camp has already opened a campaign office at 15B Buchanan Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja.

In addition to travelling across states for support, Mr Osinabjo’s team had organised opinion polls to guide his decision on the 2023 election. In one such poll, participants were asked to choose their preferred president between Rabiu Kwakwanso, former Kano State Governor, Mr Tinubu, and Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President.

In another poll, participants were asked to indicate if they would vote for Mr Osinbajo – and this particular poll yielded 63 per cent yes votes, sources said.

Mr Osinbajo is believed to enjoy a wide appeal among the population but how he is going to mobilise the political capital to defeat Mr Tinubu or Mr Amaechi – two of his main challengers – remains to be seen.

Buhari that single-handedly installed the new APC chairman has lost structure of APC?

Haba! Try to be realistic in your projections.

Now to the candidates…

Aside Southwest, where else would Tinubu garner votes in the entire south? None.

But Amaechi will win the SS and SE(if PDP makes mistake of giving its ticket to a northerner again) and he would get about 30% of votes in the Southwest.

You go to the north, if Tinubu picks a northern Christian to strike religious balance, then he has lost the north. But not so with Amaechi. Amaechi will comfortably choose a Muslim running mate and with Buhari support, the north will be delivered for him.

These are realistic projections that you know is true except you are letting sentiments becloud your reasoning.

Truthisunique2:
He is welcome but you would notice tomorrow that nobody would scold him for not having a single person by his side to declare

You would notice tomorrow that their won't be multiple thread discrediting him despite his position as economy cordinator

Penguin2:


Doesn’t this submission of yours confirm my point?

How can we say we don’t want the kleptomaniac fingers of Tinubu near our national treasury only to vote for someone whom Tinubu will play a major role in his presidency?

And hey, don’t bank on Elrufai being in the camp of Asiwaju.

trutharena:


APC chairman belongs to the CPC bloc. There is little Asiwaju can do to change that.

Moreso, you can see that even Buhari understood he dosent own the structure which explained why they ditch primaries for consensus. APC constitution allow consensus and that was how Buhari was able to have his way.

candidate nomination for president will be different because APC new constitution only recognize direct and indirect primaries.

No one in APC has the delegate Asiwaju currently command. The only person that can break Asiwaju base is Osinbajo because naturally they belong to the same structure.

On your other projections about Amaechi, I will only discuss about his chances if he emerges the candidate. I don’t have time to discuss people like Yahaya Bello and Amaechi without structures.

It’s evident he’s not even Buhari candidates, he just sold a dummy to the press. His declaration is enough evident to show that he’s not.

Below is Bashir tweeting about Osinbajo directly, this is how you know the presidency candidate.

Lol I wish you best of luck trying to tarnish Osinbajo image.

It’s a task that is useless. Let go of that and find something else to use against him coz it will be a futile effort.

Alabama123:


Bashir Ahmad has added to your confusion.

trutharena:


Let me tell you something. The Northern powerbrokers themselves are divided between Asiwaju and Buhari base. Buhari has lost touch with the structure of APC and the only thing left is the respect they accord him.

The only game the North can play is to pitch Osinbajo against Asiwaju so that like that no one wins and they can find the middle ground “Osinbajo”.

An Amaechi presidency is a sure way for APC to collapse and I’m sure the presidency themselves can gauge the pulse of APC leaders which explained why Amaechi declaration was a flop without people attending.

Let’s just wait and see.

nzeobi:


How can you say amaechi declaration was a flop when COS to the president attended and the minister for finance also attended

trutharena:


We are in full support Of either Osinbajo or Tinubu.

So far the ticket come home to the West, we are fine.

Meth addicts are bitter. Have you stopped campaigning for the fake Buhari candidate Amaechi?

You can see how scanty his declaration was without notable governors or senators. Osinbajo is Buhari candidate and I think Buhari might be wise because Osinbajo is the only candidate that can break Asiwaju’s base and with him loyalties will be divided.

Let the game begin.

Penguin2:


How many governors attended Tinubu’s declaration?

Meanwhile, we know that Tinubu and Osinbajo are working together and that the perceived rift between them is just a smokescreen.

Critical thinking Nigerians know this.

Northern powerbrokers know this too.
Asin ehh. Them think say Fulanis sef be mugus.

You can’t say you don’t wanna give Tinubu power and you give it to his errand boy.

That would amount to stupidity and Nigerians are not stupid.

trutharena:
I will support whoever eventually gets APC ticket. Whether Asiwaju or Osinbajo.

One thing I respect about Osinbajo is that he is a real omoluabi, showed restraint and respect. That’s enough and I wish him best of luck in his ambition.

God bless Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
God bless Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

You beat yourself. COS and finance minister. Are those the delegates?

A purported Buhari candidate that can’t muster APC governors, senators, reps, and frontline leaders is a scam.

The event in the coming days will clear your doubt. By the way, Osinbajo is about to declare, Osinbajo is coming!
