As if he was already preparing for 2015 presidential campaign, Yemi Osinbajo, the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as far back as August 2014 defended charges of religious extremism against Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari has now won the party’s presidential nomination and picked Osinbajo as his running mate.

Responding to an attack on Rauf Aregbesola, governor of Osun state, in his re-election, Osinbajo reserved special praise for Buhari for his handling of religion when he was military head of state.

He asked that credit should be given “to Gen Buhari, and his deputy Gen Idiagbon (also a muslim) who refused to join the OIC despite pressures”.

Nigeria’s membership of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) resulted in a controversy, pitching Muslims and Christians against each other and stoking religious tension in the country.

He said Buhari “remains the one head of State who was able to defeat an extremist insurgency, the Maitatsine” ─ referring to the religious uprising in Kano in 1980 when President Shehu Shagari was in power.

Osinbajo also commented on various national issues, which were probably a pointer to the fact that he was preparing to dive into the political terrain.
