I have heard the story of tinubu was to be buhari vice but because he is a Muslim it was not possible and from the write up you can see this is truth so there is no betrayal any where here , if tinubu was a Christian he would have become buhari vice and there will be no osinbajo here but because it's not possible the team of cabals recommend osinbajo who tinubu opposed because he osinbajo was opposed to Muslim to Muslim ticket
Same reason Tinubu wasn’t chosen as VP in 2015, is the same reason he will not be chosen as President in 2023.

Nothing has changed in the last 8 years.

I have heard of a version told by a prominent man of God about how Osinbajo was in a prayer meeting in Redemption camp (Ogun State) and the news of his nomination was broken to him by phone call (Albeit by the same Amosun). So this story of him being in Abuja already for a case in Supreme court is puzzling. But one fact remains, God uses man to lift man, Osinbajo was in obscurity until Tinubu brought him up. Maybe that was Tinubu's part in the whole game plan of God but it will be unfair to remove that side of the story. I am indifferent to their presidential ambitions anyway. Not like anyone of them is the messiah

Tinubu's Blackmail on Osinbajo (including by his minions), will fail woefully.
Osinbajo is not desperate to be President, if he is elected, the better for the future of Nigeria, unlike Tinubu who is busy distributing #50M all over the North, hoping he can buy their loyalty!
The way he robbed Lagos State of its resources, with multiple taxation on Lagosians, is how he will loot the National Treasury and l can bet, Yoruba people will suffer more under Tinubu, judging by his attitude towards them, in the last 7yrs +.
Tinubu will soon ask them: Where are the Cows
. undecided undecided
PYO is ordained by God, to rise to the very Peak of Nigerian Politics and in the THREE MONTHS that he was CTING President, we all saw how he calmed the restive Niger Delta and how the people of the South-South trusted him. Today, Militancy has abated in the Niger Delta, despite all attempts by enemies to bring it back.
If an Acting president can resolve a Problem that has been lingering for over twenty years, in just three Months, it stands to reason that if given "Full Power as President", he will do a lot for Nigeria.
We all know the Post of Vice President, is just a mere "Commissioner" or Puppet, as a V.P can ONLY do what the President allows.

Amongst all candidates that have declared so far, osibanjo is the last person I would vote.
I ain't blind to his gimmick of silently trying to steal the show.
How he got on the nomination list despite zero political popularity showed this analysis is pure lies.
Politics is all about capacity and interest, without tinubu support, oshiomole and the rest won't step down for zero popular osibanjo.
Nah!! The vp slot is a position to die for especially when the likes of rochas and amaechi also played important roles.

This account collaborates Baba Akande's version of events that transpired, at least part of it if not all. And from the revelations, it can be said that the VP's rise to power can't be solely attributed to the Magnanimity of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as his loyalist paint it. The office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is not reserved for a single individual, it's for every eligible Nigerian.
VP owes it to Nigerians to present himself, if he feels he can serve Nigerians. anyone who feels his up for the Task should come out...

It boils down to one thing, Tinubu may not be as politically calculative, smart or sagacious as he's been projected to be. No offense intended!

Tinubu used osinbajo as his number 1 law officer for 8 years, that's a big trust. Even from the mischievous analysis, if he didn't approve osinbajo, Osinbajo wouldn't have been vp. As at the time of the 2015 election, aregbesola was one of the major tink tank of Tinubu structure, it doesnt matter who named osinbajo.
Another lie and childish beleive talk is buhari's overbearing attitude when he has not become or even sure of becoming president.
The only truth is, no one should and can claim the actual understanding of Osinbajo's vp nomination and approval between Tinubu and Buhari. Buhari himself was helped to be apc candidate, not by his power or sagacity, but by sagacity of Tinubu.

The ONLY WAY Tinubu and his foot Soldiers think they can win the 2023 Election, is by BLACKMAILING Prof. Osinbajo to drop out from the race.
If Tinubu is so confident that his Bullion Vans can buy him the Presidency, by dashing out #50M in the North, then he should calm down and contest a free and fair Election.
Why is he worked Up? Why is he scared? Why is he insulting and throwing Shades at Prof Osinbajo?
Why just Prof Osinbajo, is the one scaring Tinubu the most, why not other aspirants?


In my own view, l think Tinubu realises that Prof Osinbajo will beat him hands down.
I also think that, like every time God wants to do a good thing in somebody's life, the Devil will try everything possible, to scuttle it.
God is going to use Prof. Osinbajo to put Nigeria on a recovery Path but the Thieves, the Looters and Ritual-Killing Politicians that use Human Blood to renew their Old age, are bent of preventing it from happening,
Nigerians need to be discerning, Religion or Tribe, aside.

Tinubu's Supporters are just after his Money but in doing so, they put the future of Nigeria at risk.
Those like me, who support and advocate for Prof. Osinbajo are doing so because we believe that this is what is best for Nigeria
, l have not met him in Person and l dont intend to, but l will voice out about him, for the sake of my Children and Future Generation.

We wont fold our hands and let another aged and worn-out MEDICAL TOURIST to occupy Aso Rock and lead Nigeria backwards.

If you were Buhari or a member of Buhari team back in 204/15, would you select a zero popular candidate as VP? When the likes of oshiomole, amaechi and rochas all played important roles in the APC.
Don't forget Rochas was at the peak of his popularity from south east and oshiomole would have been a perfect mediator to satisfy the west, tinubu and the entire south. These story doesn't add up.

Let Oshiomole, Amosun, Tinubu and Buhari tell the story. There is a proverb that until the lions learn to speak, tales of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.

Osinbajo and his team should not undermine Tinubu. Not for politics. He should run the race with maturity. So far, this is lacking. We saw how someone from his think-thank was underimning Buhari on Arise TV yesterday.

As they are fighting, they should remember that there'd be life after party primaries. And both of them need each other.
Re: Osinbajo 's Road To Abuja As Vice President: The Untold Story By Olawale Olaleye by Funflipper: 5:46pm On Apr 13, 2022
hnm2023:
Since his emergence as Nigeria’s number-two citizen, different accounts had been flying around on how Professor Yemi Osinbajo, actually secured the coveted vice-presidential slot, a majority of which revolved around the person of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, his former boss. Indeed, the recent revelation by Chief Bisi Akande in his book, “My Participations” was equally slanted to further pin down the narrative.

You may recall that in 2016, Professor John Paden, authored a biography, ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of leadership in Nigeria’, where he dismissed speculations that Tinubu, influenced the emergence of Osinbajo as Buhari’s running mate, but contended that Buhari, instead, chose Osinbajo despite a lot of pressure from Tinubu, who was interested in the position. That book raised a lot of dust and as expected, Tinubu’s soldiers went for the professor.

But, regardless of whichever version you must have read or heard, what you are about to read now is the untold story of how Professor Osinbajo, became Buhari’s running mate and eventually, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It happened that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was almost running against the deadline for the submission of names of its candidates ahead of the 2015 presidential election. There was no debate about its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, who had emerged at a convention held in Lagos in December of 2014. But the party had been held hostage on its choice for the running mate.

In the forefront of the confusion that had ensued as a result was Tinubu, who didn’t hide his desire to fill the slot. He hinged this on the understanding he allegedly had with Buhari in the early days of their proposed alliance, before the merger that eventually culminated in the formation of the APC, now boasting several other tendencies.

With a bigger house made possible by what was known as the ‘legacy parties’ and other individuals, who championed the change movement, a Muslim/Muslim ticket had become arguably impracticable.

This much was canvassed by a majority of the actors with stakes in the party, especially, with the increasing attacks from the Boko Haram terrorist group. They had considered a Muslim/Muslim ticket a very hard sell.

However, with 24 hours to deadline for submission of names, coupled with the fact that Tinubu had made a smooth choice of a running mate nearly impossible, including the fact that he was made to chair a selection committee, which failed to fly, because of his vested interest, Buhari then decided to take the bull by the horn, being the candidate.

While the underhand intrigues subsisted, Buhari had set up a team of some persons, including a former governor of Zamfara State, Abdul-Aziz Yari; former President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki; incumbent Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal and his predecessor, Magatakarda Wamakko, amongst others to shortlist names of likely candidates for him, from the South.

Interestingly, it seemed there was a consensus that with the role of the Southwest, the running mate must come from the zone, reason other interested folks from other parts of the country could not fly.

The committee had completed its work and submitted a list of three names to Buhari. First on the list is a former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, followed by Senator Olorunimbe Mamora and third, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. Please, follow the trend and how Osinbajo’s name first featured in the 2015 theatrics.

Armed with the list and wary of the deadline staring him in the face, Buhari left for Tinubu’s house in Abuja, first to explain that a Muslim/Muslim ticket was not going to fly, meaning he would be unable to run with him and that in the alternative, he (Tinubu) could recommend anyone from the list to him as his preferred choice for the slot. At least, he thought it was okay to do him that honour.

Unfortunately, Tinubu didn’t receive the news well and flared up so bad that he was alleged to have engaged in war of words with Buhari, who stormed out of his house, after Tinubu had insinuated betrayal. Amongst those in Tinubu’s house at the time were Chief Bisi Akande, Rauf Aregbesola and Adams Oshiomhole. But only Oshiomhole walked Buhari to his car as he made to leave the house.

From Tinubu’s house, Buhari stopped over at the home of a former governor from the Southern part of the country and told him all that transpired, and went back home – angry and disappointed.

Getting home, he sent for Saraki and when the former Senate President got to his place, he narrated what happened and the embarrassment meted out to him, saying if Tinubu wanted a fight, he was ready and he would give it back in full dose.

But Saraki pleaded with him that it was too early and that the situation was not what they couldn’t manage well before the elections. Saraki immediately contacted a former Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and hinted him that there was fire on the mountain and that he needed to come around to join forces with him to manage the situation. Amosun left his home in Abeokuta, first for Lagos and then Abuja, and straight to Buhari’s home.

Thus, when he got there, he was intimated with all that had happened, but he was particularly worried about deadline and pleaded with Buhari to let him take it over from there. So, he left for Tinubu’s place to close the deal.

By the time he got to Tinubu’s residence, Oshiomhole had left but still with him were Baba Akande and Ogbeni Aregbesola. Typical of Amosun, who would not waste time on anything, he told Tinubu that Buhari’s mind was already made up, but that he should decide now, who he wanted as the running mate, at least, that only the individual he chose would be presented to Buhari and not give him the pleasure of choosing from a list.

Still angry and disappointed, the first person Tinubu suggested in that rage was Oshiomhole. But as if planned, there was almost a unanimous opposition from everyone in the room. Then, Aregbesola suggested Osinbajo and he (Tinubu) opposed it, saying Osinbajo was one of those, who campaigned against a Muslim/Muslim ticket and must therefore not benefit from it.

Now, let’s digress a bit. Tinubu’s anger against Osinbanjo was this. The former Lagos governor had set up a team of persons close to him to ponder the Muslim/Muslim idea and the best way to push it forward. Those on the team included Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyom, Mr. Wale Edun, Mr. Dele Alake and Mr. Dapo Thomas. The team met regularly at a private Guest House on the Island, Ikoyi to be precise.

But Osinbajo had during one of their meetings said pointedly that there was no way he would defend a Muslim/Muslim ticket in good conscience especially, with the state of security in the country. He asked on what account would he go back to his family and say he was part of such a decision? Of course, Tinubu got a feedback from the team and held it against him, even though Osinbajo didn’t mean any harm.

Therefore, at the mention of Osinbajo, he revolted almost instantly. But he needed to give a name and time was fast going before deadline. So, he asked to see the list brought by Buhari and on sighting it, he said, “Okay, let’s run with Oyinlola.” To that too, Baba Akande protested and it was back to square one.

Again, Aregbesola prevailed and contended that, like it or not, Osinbajo remained a member of Tinubu’s political family and therefore, still his best bet. After a few minutes of grumbling, he reluctantly agreed to Osinbajo. And Amosun asked him repeatedly if it was a deal and he responded in the affirmative. Final answer kind of thing! Mamora was not even to be considered as far as Tinubu was concerned. Those who know Lagos politics would understand why.

When he finally agreed to Osinbajo, Aregbesola even pleaded to be given the honour of being the person to break the news to Osinbajo. But Amosun didn’t have the patience to acquiesce to that request. For him, time was of the essence and that assignment was handled business-likeThrefore, how Baba Akande handed them a note with Osinbajo’s name and ordered them to Buhari is still a mirage. Besides, Aregbesola did not go with him.

Anyway, in the presence of all, Amosun made a call to Osinbajo to ask, where he was and that a plane would be sent to convey him now to Abuja. But, incidentally, Osinbajo replied that he was in Abuja already, because he had a case at the Supreme Court.

Great, everything seemed to be working together for good, he reckoned. Then asked him to come immediately to Ogun House in Abuja, and when he arrived, he first congratulated him saying, “You’re the next vice-president of Nigeria.”

With a confounding gaze, he conveyed him in his (Amosun’s) car and drove straight to Buhari’s house, with Kemi Adeosun, former Minister of Finance, sitting in front of the car.

Getting to the candidate’s residence, Amosun asked Osinbajo to wait downstairs, while he went upstairs to see the president and told Buhari: “I have him sir,” and Buhari asked: “Who?” and he replied: “Your running mate”.

The APC candidate then came downstairs, where he first met with Osinbajo for the first time as introduced to him by Amosun and immediately, ushered them to a sitting area in the kitchen, where his nomination form was filled in a hurry.

Osinbajo, filling his form in Buhari’s dinning area, was guided by Mrs. Adeosun, Amosun and Sarki Abba, one of Buhari’s domestic staff, to hasten up the process. Buhari, too, was there watching them complete the process.

This is why for those, who know the story, how Osinbajo later turned out to be Amosun’s enemy remains a mystery to them. But with this insider picture of how Osinbajo ‘walked from Lagos to Abuja’, readers can now decide by themselves, the person, who actually made Osinbajo the vice president. To do this, however, five centres must be factored into account.

The first is the team set up by Buhari, which included him amongst the three potential candidates. The second is Aregbesola, who consistently mentioned him until it was approved. The third is Tinubu, who reluctantly agreed to his choice, without which they probably would have been unable o move on.

The fourth was Amosun, who had to run a major and serious race from Abeokuta to Lagos and Abuja to make sure that phase in the life of APC was closed. The fifth and most important is Buhari himself. He could have rejected him if he wanted to. After all, he was going to be working with him and definitely should have a say in the choice of his partner.

But if you asked this writer, no one person made Osinbajo vice president. The coming together of everyone as designed by God did the job. Therefore, no one person can claim the glory. This, in a nutshell, is the story of Osinbajo’s journey to the seat of power, Abuja.

All the additions and facts deliberately mutilated by Baba Akande are curious. But, it is understandable. Above all, if you are in doubt, many names are mentioned here as witnesses to the journey, you can check with them all.

You can write whatever you like but it is an open secret that Tinubu schemed Atiku and Kwankwaso out in favor of Buhari during the primary election. He also picked Osinbajo against the interest of Amaechi and co. Tinubu also went ahead and campaigned for them across the length and breadth of Nigeria as if he was the one running for president. After winning the election, he was shoved aside by this same people. Fast forward to 2019 when Buhari’s administration was like a shipping vessel listing dangerously, he ran back to Tinubu for help and with the help of oshiomole they were able to steady the ship and they won the election for him again againt all odds. Mind you buhari and osinbajo didn't even utter a word during the 2015 and 2019 campaign besides pronouncing osinbajo as "osinbade".
Buhari and osinbajo combined does not make up to 20% of the effort that was put into getting them where they are today and here you are trying to change the narrative. Bunch of ingrates!

Were you there? Just because the narrative negates your preconceived or already held opinion, does not in anyway changed the fact that if this as narrated is the fact of the Matter, then it remains the fact.
The writer clearly mentioned verifiable names for your call up or confirmation, you will do well to get across to them and give us your feedback instead of creating a divergent opinion based on personal preferences.

PS: A tree does not make a forest, If Tinubu was that sagacious, why can't he fly with AC and later ACN to the center during successive presidential elections that produced Atiku and Ribadu as it's flagbearer.
Remember Buhari on his own pulled about 12million votes under CPC without a merger. So Buhari has the crowd already, his only undoing is his past draconian lifestyle and history, and some extreme religious views held by him. Otherwise without a merger Buhari could have singlehandedly won a presidential election in Nigeria without a merger.
I'm always apolitical, but facts of history should always be preserved and presented as they are.
If you think this is not, then let Tinubu form another alliance with any other political party or candidate and see if such alliance will get a fly past regional acceptance. It's just unfortunate Buhari did not live up to people's expectation of him.

If Tinubu is so confident that his Bullion Vans can buy him the Presidency, by dashing out #50M in the North, then he should calm down and contest a free and fair Election.
Why is he worked Up? Why is he scared? Why is he insulting and throwing Shades at Prof Osinbajo?
Why just Prof Osinbajo, is the one scaring Tinubu the most, why not other aspirants?


In my own view, l think Tinubu realises that Prof Osinbajo will beat him hands down.
I also think that, like every time God wants to do a good thing in somebody's life, the Devil will try everything possible, to scuttle it.
God is going to use Prof. Osinbajo to put Nigeria on a recovery Path but the Thieves, the Looters and Ritual-Killing Politicians that use Human Blood to renew their Old age, are bent of preventing it from happening,
Nigerians need to be discerning, Religion or Tribe, aside.

Tinubu's Supporters are just after his Money but in doing so, they put the future of Nigeria at risk.
Those like me, who support and advocate for Prof. Osinbajo are doing so because we believe that this is what is best for Nigeria
, l have not met him in Person and l dont intend to, but l will voice out about him, for the sake of my Children and Future Generation.

We wont fold our hands and let another aged and worn-out MEDICAL TOURIST to occupy Aso Rock and lead Nigeria backwards.
If he likes, let him claim to be 27 years, we all know that the Office of Nigeria's President does not need sickly people who run to London for Medical Checkup, every now and then.
Actually am not an osinbajo fan am just expressing my opinion, looking critically the VP served under the government there is no difference anything will be better if given the opportunity after all vp says he wants to consolidate on buhari achievement and the question will be does buhari even has an achievement

I have heard of a version told by a prominent man of God about how Osinbajo was in a prayer meeting in Redemption camp (Ogun State) and the news of his nomination was broken to him by phone call (Albeit by the same Amosun). So this story of him being in Abuja already for a case in Supreme court is puzzling. But one fact remains, God uses man to lift man, Osinbajo was in obscurity until Tinubu brought him up. Maybe that was Tinubu's part in the whole game plan of God but it will be unfair to remove that side of the story. I am indifferent to their presidential ambitions anyway. Not like anyone of them is the messiah
Osinbajo has never denied Tinubu being his senior in politics. It is not exactly a big deal. Even Tinubu himself was in 'obscurity' until the Awo remnants through Nadeco and afenifere brought them up. We really can't be sentimental, considering Nigeria is almost a failed nation.

You can write whatever you can but it is an open secret that Tinubu schemed atiku and kwankwaso out in favor or Buhari during the primary election. He also picked Osinbajo against the interest of Amaechi and co. Tinubu also went ahead and campaigned for them across the length and breadth of Nigeria as if he was the one running for president. After winning the election, he was shoved aside by this same people. Fast forward to 2019 when Buhari’s administration was kike a shipping vessel listing dangerously, he ran back to Tinubu for help and with the help of oshiomole they were able to steady the ship again and they won the election for him again againt all odds. Mind you buhari and osinbajo didn't even utter a word during the 2015 and 2019 campaign besides pronouncing osinbajo as "osinbade".
Buhari and osinbajo combined does not make up to 20% of the effort that was put into getting them where they are today and here you are trying to change the narrative. Bunch of ingrates!
that's the point. Osibanjo a nobody can't just get there when the likes of rochas, amaechi and oshiomole all played a role in his emergence. Not even a role in the primaries..
