Kilometres:


Yes, he wanted the position for himself but when the political permutations were against him (Tinubu) cos of Muslim/Muslim thing....someone else had to take that VP....

by power,politics, hierarchy Osinbajo was not on top 50 to get it...

Tinubu reluctantly picked him in as much as he (Tinubu) wanted it for himself.

Dont forget Osinbajo was Tinubu's commissioner for a whole 8years

Tinubu didn't pick him. GMB then had already made up his mind about him, being a pastor (cos he had always wanted a pastor because of the perception about him as a religious bigot). Aregbe then suggested him among the 3 names shortlisted. Tinubu initially wanted Oyinlola, but Baba Akande and Aregbe were against him, so he had no option.

Maxymilliano:
My grouse with this interview is how he left out Tinubu's name completely in the entire narration.

Somebody watered the ground and paved the way for him, Aregbe and Amosun were just the purveyors.

Tinubu rejected Osinbajo's candidacy. It was Aregbe and Amosun that forced Osinbajo on him. He declined until the die minute.

Rastaramsey:
This is bullshit
The fool was sounding like he did something good to help Nigeria....

We didn't see it coming

We literally thought you were a pastor ni

May God forgive us

What was the bad things he did to Nigeria. His only fault is that he is an excellent player in the midst of a weak team.

BishopZion:
Comprehension problem. He didn't talk about who nominated him here but how he got to know about his nomination. Learn how to read to comprehend.
basseeafricana:

people like you are ingrate he should show a bit gratitude to Mr Tinubu who nominated him how can someone talk about how he got to know about his nomination without mentioning the name of the person that nominated him

Akanoaaa:



Tinubu supported his VP nomination because he had no choice.

People like you will always play down the roles of those who help U in life.

Jagaban could have nominated any Christian and it will be done. Many of you did not even know Osinbajo before Tinubu picked him. U are now forming Supporters club. Yeye!

Ilaje1:


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.

As if you were there. Osinbajo is on record saying Tinubu nominated him. Stop twisting history..Baba Akande said Jagaban nominated only Osinbajo despite been told to nominate three. Osinbajo cannot deny it anymore cos that video is out there. Your story to downplay Tinubu's role has failed.

uniquetechng:
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.

Bullshit. Fear God ooooo! Osinbajo himself is on record saying Tinubu nominated him. Who the hell are you people forming Supporters club now? Did U even know him before Jagaban nominated him? Baba Bisi Akande and Osinbajo both say Tinubu nominated him but you all are trying to twist history. Who was Aregbe to nominate VP when Jagaban was there?

If Jagaban had insisted on being VP, the whole party would have collapsed but he sacrificed his ambition for the Party's interest. Fear God ooo!

RoyalDiadems:

Amosun and Aregbe had the clout to force a candidate on Tinubu? Even an idiot knows the Coalition would have failed if Tinubu had said 'NO'. There's no way you all can change history cos Osinbajo himself admitted it in public. U people are despicable for trying to change history cos of a Pastor's personal ambition.

Up there is proof that you are an irritating liar. Shame on your failed attempt to twist the truth.

God bless you. He's on record describing Tinubu below as the person who nominated him. That was in 2016 before Ojudu and co started pushing him to betray Jagaban.

I'm flooding this thread with it cos I won't allow mischievous people deny a man his due credit. We can see how far people can go cos of politics. They are trying to downplay the role of Jagaban. Shame!

Wow really but you should also know that the two people you mentioned don't have the capacity to nominate you as a vice president. Anyway next month is here already.

Tinubuadvocate:

Don't call him odale because there's no any agreement made btw him and Asiwaju he is only exercise his right.

The only thing I will say he shouldn't be ungrateful even if emerge APC flagbarer he will still need Asiwaju. But on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu we stand.

Tinubu never supported him to be the VP . never he rather preferred oshiomole

I like the VP, I've praised him so many times and even started many threads on NL showing the man a lot of love, but I'm not feeling his moves at all.

You are yet to shed the Judas label and you are already compounding it by outrightly telling people that you are of curse Judas.

This is just too sad.

Did you read the content of the link you just posted at all? Did he mention Tinubu or it was just a guess? "Though Osinbajo did not mention the name of the leader" his descriptions of the person, who he said had served as a state governor"

Had Akande, Aregbe, Amosun, who were instrumental in his nomination not served as governors?

https://thenationonlineng.net/osinbajo-then-i-was-nominated-by-tinubu-osinbajo/ I don't know what to believe

akwaabanaija:



You sound very foolish

you reason very useless. Having interest in some one should not bling your sense of reasoning .what has he and Buhari offered Nigerians positively interm of governance in Nigeria or you are just here to show your high level of foolishness by be a political � backers?

Animal, so it was Aregbesola that nominated you and sent himself to call you? Aláimore! Come and be President now na

You are here insulting a man whose life is far better than You just because you want someone who has looted Lagos dey to become the president.

Stop trying to be clever by half. He said " a former governor who I served under". PLS, do not deny the obvious. It irritates me!

The deadline was tommorow for Inec to receive their submissions. Tinubu did not want to support Osinbajo Because he declined to support Tinubu's agenda for a Muslim Muslim governor's ticket in Lagos. Osinbajo waa the only available person that could Vice Buhari, but Tinubu rejected him. Deadline was tomorrow. Aregbesola and Amosun were stil pressing Tinubu This night in Abuja to nominate Osinbajo since there was no alternative.

Tinubu was in a straight. He had to consent because there was he had no option.

That very night Aregbesola Called Osinbajo to Inform him that he's to Vice Buhari, The 3 of them were together In the same room in Abuja. Buhari was there too but he left angrily when Tinubu was adamant in his rejection of Osinbajo.

The full details of the whole saga is right here on Nairaland.

From the horse's mouth.

TheDemola:

You'd continue to be irritated as long as you think your opinion supercedes others'.

"An APC National Leader who had served when he was governor was interested in putting me forward as the running mate of President Muhammadu Buhari in consensus with other national leaders of the party."

Everyone knows Amosun was Buhari's man and was even more qualified as VP but Osinbajo got it cos of Jagaban.

Osinbajo was not in the top 20 favorites for the job until Jagaban named him. Ofcos, other leaders had to agree but no one should deny that Tinubu nominated Osinbajo. He was in Tinubu's camp �. Heavens won't fall if we accept the truth!
