What if Proffesor Yemi Osinbajo comes out as independent candidate?

History has shown that indirect primaries in Nigeria have never produced candidates who truly have the interest of Nigerians at heart and we can no longer put the future of our children in the hands of these old inept recycled politicians.

I still believe in Proffesor Osinbajo and there is a provision for independent candidacy in our constitution.

I am convinced that this will be a viable path at this juncture, an option worth exploring.

Nigeria politics is money and structural politics coupled with the fact that Nigerians are not enlightened. Independent candidates won't work!

Won't work?

But I just stated the possibility of money bags helping and you dont need any political structure to make the electorates vote for you.

We are not talking about primates.

The money here will be for mobilization. Of agents and not bribing electorates so what do they need billions for?

The electorates in the villages listen to party chairmen or leaders. They dont know who they're voting for but do what these leaders tell them. These leaders are either in APC or PDP. Its called structure

So you believe nobody will do this for them! Habba.

Even me, the way I write to promote Osinbajo, you will think he is paying me.

So I strongly believe that SOME NIGERIANS will do that and even do it is ithout expecting a dime.

The Osinbajo group has fundings from private pockets so i see this as the least of all obstacles

So, money bags, who couldn't make a way into APC or PDP will sponsor a so-called independent candidate, and you think that will produce some kind of saintly government.

And you think the 'independent' candidate will not be beholden to the money bags who sponsored him?

The best way is for an independent candidate supported and sponsored by small donations from millions of ordinary people. I think this will eventually happen as people become wiser.

You assume these two are saints grin Even if you forgot about Obi as governor 7 years of Buhari and Osibanjo taught you nothing of the character of the man. He is a politician and he's as corrupt as they come. Ask him about NEMA, trademoni, RUGA...

Many people are so ignorant.

A VP has no power to do anything. A VP is only as important as the president makes him

It's a complete waste of time and effort. It doesn't work in major elections anywhere in the world.

You need popular and influential people to believe in you and convince their people to vote for you. This is the reason why an incompetent Buhari could win elections in the South West.

Shey you dey whine me ni. This man was failure for 7 years yet some of you are hyping him. Atiku's score card as VP is outstanding compared to Osibanjo. The only thing this professor will be known for in history is wasting billions of naira on Tradermoni. He is not that bright in governance or resource management.

He is a lightweight politically. A sitting VP came 3rd and a very distant third at that. Nobody really respects him apart from the online herd. I was ashamed for him at Eagle square when he was called to speak and his rented crowd were constituting nuisance. Delegates just dey look am say wetin dey do this one.

Osibanjor should team up with Peter Obi, the combination will be very effective and beneficial to all Nigerians, I don't care who is President and who is vice, God can use both of them to change Nigeria. He should leave APC for the vultures, he doesn't belong there.
