2023: APC Governors Begin Rallying Around Osinbajo by joy4news(m): 5:11pm On Jun 03, 2022 |
Two days after President Muhammadu Buhari indicated a template for his successor in the forthcoming APC Presidential Primaries, Governors of the ruling party are beginning to rally behind the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo who is believed to fit the President’s description. As of last night, several of the APC Governors have been seen in the Villa meeting with the VP and also the Chief of Staff to the President in what sources say is a move likely to result in a Consensus presidential candidate for the ruling party, Quest Times can authoritatively report. Governors cited in the Villa include Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun; Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; Gombe State Governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya; Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule; and David Umahi of Ebonyi State. The 22 governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), under the aegis of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), appear to have agreed on a consensus candidature of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, ahead of the party’s long-awaited presidential primaries on June 6. The governors who held a series of meetings at the Kebbi State Governors Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja on May 31, after their meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, were initially deadlocked on a consensus arrangement. However, after reconvening, a top source in the know, hinted that the governors have agreed that the Presidency of the party should be zoned to the South and that the candidate should be Prof Osinbajo. According to an impeccable source in the Villa, the governors failed to reach an agreement on a consensus candidate in their first meeting because different governors were working for different aspirants and they were all pushing for their aspirants to be accepted based on a North-South divide. Said the source “the heroes of this whole thing are the Governors of Borno, Nasarawa and Gombe who even though are from the North, argued that the VP from the South fits the bill perfectly. Kaduna Governor also of the same view but he has not been seen in the Villa this week. He was represented by his deputy at the meeting with the President on Tuesday.” The source said that some governors had first insisted that the party’s Presidency should be zoned to the North because the main opposition party had settled for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at their convention. “It was a very heated argument between the governors. Some governors wanted a Northern candidate to challenge the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate but some other northern governors kicked against it. They said that the it is morally right for power to return to the South.” https://www.thequesttimes.com/2023-apc-governors-begin-rallying-around-osinbajo/ 2 Likes 1 Share

If VP Osinbajo is the Consensus Candidate, then can only wish him the best. But that will mean Atiku will be the next President of Nigeria with Obi and Osinbajo sharing the Southern Votes. This too is a win win for the Fulani Oligarchs. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Now they will direct the hate and attacks on Osinbajo. 2023 will be very interesting. Even if it’s Osinbajo, it is still a Yoruba man so things are still okay. 2 Likes |

Waiting for the senseless ones to start calling PYO a betrayal because he decided to run 4 Presidency when he knows that BAT is contesting. NONSENSE. Incase u don't know, Osinbajo has paid his dues to Buhari by being an obidient vice. The Fulanis no dey use loyalty play |
