Many people are so ignorant.

A VP has no power to do anything. A VP is only as important as the president makes him
Atiku fought OBJ for most part of the second term between 2003 to 2007, by which Atiku became almost irrelevant.
GEJ as VP to Yar Adua was so irrelevant that Cabal were ruling when Yar Adua was sick
Nemadi Sambo appears to be the worst VP to Jonathan between 2010 to 2015 cos we hardly ever see him
PYO became relevant cos of his brilliance and the fact that he acted as President and people felt what good governance can look like in few period.

Even in America, VPs are useless, as all powers are with the President, Senators and Judiciary.
Biden achived nothing as VP to Obama, just like Al Gore as VP to Clinton.

No one should blame Osinbajo for Buhari's failures.

Do you know how many times they have to force Buhari to address the nation? When last did he do media Chat? Has he ever participated in any debate? But it is Osinbajo that you saw selling homegrown feeding, Trader Money, always receiving the likes of Facebook founder, attending debates to defend the government.

The only good thing about this administration is PYO.

But knowing a Nepotistic Buhari, he would never want a Christian to succeed him, reason he never supported Amaechi, Onu, Umahi or Osinbajo

The North is the worst!

I mean it. I saw a video in which a man stood in front of the ballot box, take the ballot paper, thumbprint it, fold it and give to the gullible people on the line , one by one to submit only .,.

Some people can't even vote properly, they don't know nothing except whatever they are told to do

Lafff wan kill me here. Even some APC delegates were helped to write who they were voting for. How they knew what was written for them is misery. grin

Osibanjor should team up with Peter Obi, the combination will be very effective and beneficial to all Nigerians, I don't care who is President and who is vice, God can use both of them to change Nigeria. He should leave APC for the vultures, he doesn't belong there.
Both Christians and both from the southern part?

Nigeria is yet to advance up to that stage.

Osibanjo should seek Buhari's permission to contest on another platform

Make everybody test his popularity on the masses and not some few delegates that can be easily bought with money.
So, pyo should ask Buhari for permission in other to contest on another platform? can you confidently vote Pantami for president? I guess the answer is no, why do you expects the masses to vote for a well known extremist for president?

What if Proffesor Yemi Osinbajo comes out as independent candidate?

History has shown that indirect primaries in Nigeria have never produced candidates who truly have the interest of Nigerians at heart and we can no longer put the future of our children in the hands of these old inept recycled politicians. Independent candidacy is a mirage in Nigerian politics and can never produce any president in the country

I still believe in Proffesor Osinbajo and there is a provision for independent candidacy in our constitution.

I am convinced that this will be a viable path at this juncture, an option worth exploring.

Shey you dey whine me ni. This man was failure for 7 years yet some of you are hyping him. Atiku's score card as VP is outstanding compared to Osibanjo. The only thing this professor will be known for in history is wasting billions of naira on Tradermoni. He is not that bright in governance or resource management.

He is a lightweight politically. A sitting VP came 3rd and a very distant third at that. Nobody really respects him apart from the online herd. I was ashamed for him at Eagle square when he was called to speak and his rented crowd were constituting nuisance. Delegates just dey look am say wetin dey do this one.

I can mention 3 solid areas Osinbajo is presently handling well...I want you to mention just one thing Atiku did during Obasanjo's time.

You should be ashamed of yourself for not following current affairs. You dont even know who is holding your economy. So, you think Buahri isnthe one running it.

This is why we say many of you are used by politicians. Is this what they are telling you that you even brought here?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

If course, Osinbajo deserved what he got yesterday. The day he betrayed Endsars kids is th day I stopped supporting him. And he ended his own political career yesterday by trying to outshine is master.

So, tell me exactly Atiku's achievements as VP.

The Nigerian constitution doesn't allow the VP to be relevant. And Osinbajo is the most active VP since 1999. Which Atiku? What exactly has he done? Start listing them.

Osinbanjo shot himself for leg when he said that he will continue and complete what his master has started,and we know how his master started and where he is,and imagined where Osinbanjo will lead us to with the situation on ground, so trash Osinbanjo.

Osinbajo did nothing and said nothing at crucial times because he wanted to protect his presidential ambition. Well, the ambition is now dead and his political career is now terminal. When he goes to bed tonight, I hope he asks himself whether it was worth it.

for now he's still under buhari and going against him might bring him unnecessary problems that's why he needs his permission.
Re: Independent Candidacy: A Viable Option For Proffesor Osinbajo (Opinion) by Omesbrit(m): 3:14pm On Jun 09, 2022
Is an option he should have gone for earlier, I think buhari deceived him with his sitting on the fence altitude, is already late because most of his supporters has left him expecially the youth. Obi has my support.
