Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said that he would have done a disservice to the Nigerian people and injustice to Nigeria if he failed to contest in the next year’s presidential election, saying “it will be a betrayal not to accept to serve our dear country”

Osinbajo stated this on Monday in Akure, Ondo State capital, during his visit to the State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, said retiring to his Ikene country home with all the experiences garnered as a public servant would amount to disservice to the people and himself, saying he cannot afford to retire early from politics.

He said the visit was to intimate Akeredolu and his cabinet, as well as state lawmakers and APC chieftains in the state, of his desire to run for the party’s presidential ticket.

He, however, solicited the support of delegates in the state for his aspiration, disclosing that by virtue of the active roles President Muhammadu Buhari bestowed on him, he is more than ready to lead the country

He said, “Opportunity of public service is the most valuable thing. It comes once in a while. It is a special privilege to be called upon to serve. Our country needs service. That is what will get our country out of the doldrums.

“I have formally declared my intention to run as President. It was because nobody can be anything if God has not decided it. I believe the hand of God must be upon me.

“In that capacity, I got to find out so many things and gained lots of experience. I had opportunities to do what I could do. Knowing what I know and experience I think it will be a betrayal to our Nation.

“With all that has been given to me, I now retire quietly, it will be a great disservice to our country. I want to ensure I make the best case for the position I can.

“Now the opportunity has come, knowing what I know and the experience I have had, it will be a betrayal of all that I have been given I now retire to either Lagos or Ikenne to write memoirs, it will be a great injustice.

“I have come to you because you can make it happen as delegates. We make sure that. Nobody can be anything unless God says you will become what He has planned. God will make it happen and we will give the nation the best.”

Speaking earlier, Akeredolu corroborated with the Vice President that it is only God that enthrones, emphasising that the emergence of Osinbajo as the number two citizen in 2015 was divine.

“We have known ourselves for long, not today. We did not meet in politics, we have been friends since secondary school. Nothing can separate us as friends.

“Ondo State is a state for you and a state for all. Be homely, this is your home. Where you are going, it is God that can take you there. It is only God that can do it.”

We will drag you to court. Challenge you legally

bullshit...And where can an average Nigeria get 100millions to contest? or 50millions and so on

Nice one. I wrote an article a long time ago about the new afonja on the block.

I wasn't wrong.

The ship of Osinbajo has sailed, It started from Igbokoda in Ondo state and now moving towards Lagos through Ogun State. SW people are very reasonable and always consider the future. Osinbajo is the future we all seek. Let make it happen

In fact ,I will be the first to challenge you sir ,we are extremely happy the day you declared your intention

Keep deceiving yourself, you hear?

You watched Buhari bring down the economy of Nigeria to its knees yet you claim you want to build on the success of this administration. What success exactly?

People on the streets measure government success based on how their lives have improved, not what they read in the dailies and weekly gaslight from Femi Adesina and Laolu Akande.

Nice Point.

Osibanjo is a worthy Presidential candidate.

For now, we strongly believe Tinubu is the man with the nationwide influence needed to win the Nigerian presidency.

Vote Tinubu 2023

You have done well Mr VP, just continue to push harder you are almost there.

Mtcheeeew...Odale. shior

Alright.

Power belongs to God

He can't say that. May be he is under the influence of alcohol or...

The part in bold is the most important point for me. I love the fact that he’s consulting and meeting delegates. That’s the way to go. Those still waiting for anointing or imposition as consensus candidate should take note. Best of luck to the Vice President.

Injustice kee you there

lol injustice from what I just wish Thunder can jus fire him and doz English wey e dey always talk....

Injustice and Betrayal from what

Nigerialabalaba:
Mtcheeeew...Odale. shior

Oga stop this nonsense please

Odale or no odale, we love Osibanjo and prefer him to Tinubu

.

God bless Prof Yemi Osinbajo,
God bless federal Republic of Nigeria,
God bless those who bless Osinbajo
Osinbajo is the right man for the job.
Go, Nigerians are with you. Go, the incoming president. Nothing, I mean nothing can stop you. Go, you are God's project, a messiah.

From the little I have known about Osinbajo, I am convinced he will do well. I will never blame him for his master (Buhari) failure. Even Amechi once criticized Buhari that he doesn't listen to advice.

Osinbajo is part of this mess, so after 8yrs you still want to rule this country again.....


On what bases

Betrayal
