Worlds leading global business publication Financial Times Newspaper has endorsed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to contest for the office of president come 2023 general elections.

The London-based newspaper said Osinbajo’s presidency will give Nigeria respite, adding that Nigerians will feel better with Osinbajo as president.

Financial Times which disclosed this in its editorial piece titled: “What is Nigeria’s government for?” said if by miracle, Osinbajo makes it as Nigeria’s president, it will rekindle the hope of the optimist.

In the article released yesterday, the London-based newspaper noted that campaigns for the presidential elections in February 2023 have already begun “if Yemi Osinbajo, the technocratic vice-president, were miraculously to make it through the campaign thicket and emerge as president, the hearts of Nigerian optimists would beat a little faster.

It said, “But that may be to underestimate the depth of Nigeria’s quagmire. The problem is not so much who leads the government as the nature of government itself.”

The newspaper described President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight years of administration as “somnolent”.

According to Financial Times, the Buhari administration failed to tackle the country’s insecurity, adding that Nigeria’s debt profile increased under his watch.

“Buhari has overseen two terms of the economic slump, rising debt and a calamitous increase in kidnapping and banditry – the one thing you might have thought a former general could control,” the newspaper stated.

It said, “Next year, many of the members of the government will change, though not necessarily the bureaucracy behind it.

“Campaigning has already begun for presidential elections that in February 2023 will draw the curtain on eight years of the administration of Muhammadu Buhari, on whose somnolent watch Nigeria has sleepwalked closer to disaster.”

The newspaper also said financial strength has remained a crucial determinant of the country’s election winners.

The media outlet said Nigeria’s presidential election is estimated to cost $2billion (N1 trillion.)

“Familiar candidates to replace him (Buhari), mostly recycled old men, are already counting their money ahead of a costly electoral marathon.

“It takes an estimated $2billion to get a president elected. Those who pay will expect to be paid back,” it added.

Financial Times re-echoed what former head of state, Ibrahim Babangida said that Osinbajo can be more effective as president.

It also noted that there are some promising candidates.

“If Yemi Osinbajo, the technocratic vice-president, miraculously makes it through the campaign thicket and emerges as president, the hearts of Nigerian optimists would beat a little faster,” it said.

Osinbajo has not formally declared his presidential ambition.

Osibanjo won't be president

Tinubu won't be president

The next president has an Igbo name to his names

In all you do in this life, do good and put on your best.

Intelligence cannot be hidden. That's a fact.

All Buhari and Osibanjo policies failed

Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world under their watch

Mention one policy that they got right

Just One

The sensible Nigerians thought as much

Toh

It's been 50 years now without Ibo head of state. 37 years without Vice or 2nd in command from Iboland

Yet you contest every four years from Ekweume, Rochas, Kalu, to Oby Ezekwesili and Kingsley Moghalu and all lost

What makes you think 2023 would be the year for Ibos to smell AsoRock

Can't you people also ignored this guy once and for all.

Psychologically, it's not normal for someone to be coming online daily with such hatred towards others.

It's emotionally troublesome for someone to be repeating same lies every day

Mentally, it's possible for the guy to be affected cos he can never answer a straight question without being incoherent.

Let's allow him to wail in peace

Direct your stale question at Igbo people I am Yoruba and deep rooted

Eggzactly

PrinceOfLagos:

Truly denying your Iboness is necessary for you self esteem and inferiority complex

But that's not the subject here... Since in your Mkpuru Mniri induced hallucinations you saw an Igbo named President.. then I asked you what made you so sure Ibos can win any national elections in Nigeria

Tinubu will not be president .

The reply isn't for him or Asguard, it's for whom it may concern especially his fellow Ibos given him cheap likes for trying to rubish Yorubas, Yoruba elders and what we stand for

If you allow this miscreants change your history or Destiny without disputing it then you are allowing their folly

They made Lagos is no man's land popular

They spread the lies that Awolowo stole their money during civil war

They went ahead to say great Awolowo a man of 78 years committed suicide

I understand but I think it's a purely waste of time to be Engaging with people with no shame.

Those who can never be proud of their region, be sincere in their comments or accomodate others opinion.

Even their people are beginning to get irritated with their dumb and repeated wack lines all the time.

It's because we are still engaging with their likes that's why they are still talking. Let's give them the silence and see what would happen.

The truth is, those fellows are yet to understand the repercussions of their actions on NL.

Shehu Sani, Dino Melaye, Onochie are just few of people to learn from regarding reckless statement but yet some people are not learning a thing from that

You. Truly have a point there.... It's all waste of time as they can't and would never change.. its in their DNA

Definitely by the grace of God

ibile from Lagos, hope you are not a B and V? because only a bastard and vagabond throw away his own and endorse another, you claim to be Yoruba but your bitterness and hatred against Yorubas is top notch, on the roof top, you claim to be ibile or it must be I- Bile, because your bile acid is consuming, you are not stable, you are always hiding

If only for his familiarity with the workings of the system already, He’s the best man for the job at the moment. His impeccable stint as Acting President is also there to consider.

The future is bright for Nigeria, all indications shows Prof. Osinbajo will do very well as president come 2023. I have no doubts, the VP's acceptance is very encouraging, he will make a better president.

The reason is not far fetched from the records

They said the same thing about Buhari 2015

Nope! Osinbajo will simply be a continue ot the present catastrophe.Reme.ber he was part & parcel of this failed Buhari government.

I believe VP Osinbajo will do a great job. Its obvious to the blind that he isn't the regular Nigerian politician that talks much without actions. As Acting President, a lot of Nigerians prayed for him to continue being in that capacity and never wanted Buhari to return. Its what he is capable of doing again.

We need a success addict.
