I can imagine what the PEE POO from the WASTE will say right now as Osinbajo rightly ignored the full details of how he emerged.... Not giving full details how BAT gave him the privilege as he claimed.... and how he goes about telling people how he made him who he is today....


Osinbajo should stop deceiving himself... He should stop telling us the experience he has.... He should tell us that experience that he has....

We need to know what he's coming to offer, it will help him to win the primaries...

Tinubu wanted himself as VP. Buhari rejected, infact they fought because Tinubu was mad. They had less than 48 hours to choose a running mate. Buhari called Amosun to intimidate him on what just happened. He assured Buhari he would find a solution. Buhari told him categorically he doesn't want BAT because of muslim-muslim. But BAT can choose the the VP. Amosun went to BAT, Aregbe and one other party member was there, BAT suggested Fashola or so and oyinlola while Aregbe suggested PYO. Fash doesn't cut it because he's a Muslim, now left with the other two. BAT choose Bisi while Aregbe insisted on PYO. BAT disagreed (rumor has it that PYO kicked against muslim-muslim ticket during Lagos APC inner caucus meeting, BAT held that against him. When Amosun showed Buhari the list, Buhari chose PYO, being a Christian might have helped. BAT had no choice but to agree. Moreover it was Bola Ige that first appointed PYO. So it was his hardwork that have him recognition not BAT. OBJ wanted to hijack him, but decided to stick with BAT. He fought OBJ govt on behalf Lagos state and won, also won several cases for BAT. BAT might have been part of his journey. With or without BAT, he would have gotten to where he's destined to be.

Politically, Osinbajo is NOTHING without Tinubu.
Tinubu made Osinbajo AG for 8 years and VP for 8 years. This story he is telling is incomplete. Who sent Amosun and Aregbe to him? He failed mention that part.
I support Osinbajo but this recent attitude of brushing Tinubu aside is absolutely nonsense.

He was someone before and after Tinubu. It is because he was good in his profession that Tinubu hired/contracted him to work for him. Before Tinubu, he worked for Bola Ige. So Tinubu didn't make him. Of anything PYO made himself, he was so good that OBJ wanted to hijack from Lagos state and make him the AG of the federation. He told BAT about it, and BAT asked to decide what he wants. He chose to be loyal to BAT. So it was a mutual beneficial relationship.

Tinubu actually didnt nominate Osibanjo as he wanted to be Buhari's running mate himself , Saraki, Rauf and Amosun were actually the ones who recommended Osibanjo to Buhari.

May be because the man did not nominate him in reality.

His story jives with another story on the same subject.

So Mr. Jagaban can send his own version of the nomination event.

It was said that Tinubu never supported or nominated him to be VP.

Inasmuch as he's constitutionally empowered to contest for the presidency, leaving out Tinubu from his trajectory to power is unfair.

Tinubu this, Tinubu that.

How many names did Tinubu call on his way to political relevance?? Rather, he dealt with all of them as soon as he became governor! Check his history of manipulations and betrayals....

He didn't even want Osinbajo to be Buharis running mate! He felt Osinbajo didn't support the muslim/ muslim ticket of Tinubu/Buhari and didn't want the VP to be a beneficiary of what he himself lost

But from earlier insider narrative, it was clearly stated that Tinubu was opposed to his candidature due to Osibanjo's uncompromising stand against Muslim/Muslim joint ticket that was touted by Tinubu in the run up to the 2015 election. Tinubu wanted to be Buhari's running mate, which Osibanjo was vehemently opposed to such arrangement and even Buhari too was opposed to it. So when the choice of Osibanjo came up as vice president. Tinubu vehemently refused as well, so you can see it wasn't Tinubu's making that Osibanjo became vice president but rather a divine coincidence.

I laugh a lot about this idiot, called Osibanjo. Even, if he has political struggle with Tinubu, that does not mean to be undermining his roles in his life. This is someone struggling to become president. After spending good seven yrs without any tangible achievement with his Fulani man. Osinbanjo will never got APC presidential ticket. Everyone can quote me today, his political downfall has set in.

It is said that after Buhari told Tinubu that he will not be his VP pick due to Muslim-Muslim ticket issue, Tinubu threw a massive tantrum and essentially told Buhari to leave his house.

Buhari was humiliated and was ready to go to War with Tinubu but was calmed down by Aregbesola and other APC chieftains reminding him they still need Tinubu’s help for the general elections. They then decided to appease Tinubu by letting him have a direct say in who emerges as the VP candidate in place of him but only from a list of people approved by them.

They gave Tinubu a list of 3 people, all perceived as close allies of his, to pick, including Osinbajo. Tinubu still agitated, initially rejected all three and said he wants Adams Oshiomhole, who wasn’t on the list, if he can’t be the pick himself. Of course the chieftains rejected this and after much back and forth he finally settled for Osinbajo.

So when you look at this story this way you can see that the narrative of Tinubu being solely responsible for Osinbajo’s emergence as VP is greatly overblown. The man wanted himself as VP but only approved Osinbajo out of a lack of options. Aregbesola and Amosun were actually more instrumental to his emergence than Tinubu.

Osinbajo has always shown high level of transparency, loyalty and commitment.

I guess it's due to the manner at which he was picked.

When God's Grace speaks every other protocols bow.


You are right, but his competence level is still very much in doubt.

I do not think that Osinbajo has the steel to run Nigeria.

It takes more than loyalty, commitment and transparency to be a great leader.

We must be wary so as not to bring in another Jonathan era.

Would you say that Osinbajo has done well with his management of Tradermoni or Marketmoni, just to mention a few?
