As the APC primary election draws closer, it is expected to see each camp of the presidential aspirants in the political arena of the ruling All Progressives Party, APC to begin to play different political games in other to draw victory to their camps.

As evidences of different tactics by each camp emerge, reality begins to stare at us. Both Asiwaju Tinubu and Vice President Osinbajo's camps are out there to the woo delegates ahead of the primary election . Each camp wants to be seen as being ahead of the other camp in the scheme of things.

The controversy that ensued when it was time for the aspirants to fill the forms for the party primaries was a dramatic one. The forms had required to be signed by statutory delegates for each aspirant. Then, came the Tinubu camp saying that they had secured the signatures of 12 sitting governors, thereby laying claim to be far ahead of Osinbajo.

The Osinbajo camp came with a bigger and better picture that not only confirms their weight but also indicating their reach, they were able to secure 14 sitting governors' signatures and at the same time got the signatures of Lawmakers and others. For anybody who has little understanding of mathematics, 14 is bigger and 12. There is no controversy about that.

The obvious reality, as far of the APC convention is concerned, is that the Osinbajo momentum is moving fast, nothing seems to stop the man. He's in a clear lead to get the party ticket judging from happenings in the current political space.

One very important reason why I think the VP has a good chance in winning the party ticket is the way Osinbajo has redefined his campaign strategy by reaching out to the party delegates before the day of the primary election. It was a break from the norm. Our traditional politicians always wait on the D day to 'monitize" the process. But PYO has changed the game. He's in a clear lead.

The majority of the delegates are closer to the ordinary people in the street. They listen to the pulse of the people who have a huge voting power. The public opinion prefers an Osinbajo presidency to a Tinubu's as evidenced by the recent polls conducted some weeks ago by one independent body.

For the delegates, apart from their personal gain it will also be fulfilling to them to see the man they vote for become the eventual winner of the 2023 presidential election. That man is professor Yemi Osinbajo. Nigerians are waiting.

Osinbajo is the man to follow

I thought Baba BAT is already considering moving to SDP na

The game is over. Osinbajo is the winner at the convention in all indices. Either through consensus or direct primary, Osinbajo will be the winner.

Osinbajo is the Best Candidate among the best. #Wemove #PYO2023

Wow!! So Osibanjo beat Tinubu to secure 14govs signatures?? That's very impressive

Propaganda.

North East has the ticket.

This is a fact that has come to stay, having the common man behind him is a height that cannot be bought.

Hehehehehe....una go write tire.
All these numerous write ups from Osinbajo slaves point to the fact that they're not sure of the chances of their principal. They're writing to reassure themselves that they've not been defeated. Self deceit!

Propaganda doesn't win primary election,it can only work in the general election because delegates are not moved by propaganda.

After the primary many of you here will disappear from nairaland for a long while.

Going by all indices Osinbajo is a man of the people and he stands a better chance to win the party's ticket. He is going to make a good president going by his performance when he was acting president

APC has how many governors if Tinubu got 12 and Osibanjo 14?

Osinbajo is a kind of leadership we need because he posses the qualities of a good leader

okefranci:

He will take the third position. Amaech and Tinubu will come before him in the primary.

The reality remains the fact that this ticket belongs to Osinbajo.

The big reality here is that, Osinbajo is the candidate to beat. The best of all!

Let's support him to power. #PYO2023 #NigeriansForOsinbajo

I believe Prof Osinbajo will come out victorious.

Osinbajo is a man to follow. He is sincere and genuine leader. A unifier, who advocates one nation. He will make a good leader.

I heard APC has zoned presidency to North East??

Delegates listen to the purse of the voters on the street? You are a learner man. Delegates are their pockets and pockets alone. You are not in England.
