EXCLUSIVE: Osinbajo Tops Screening List As Only Tinubu Rejects APC Consensus Option

By Remi Adebayo

Facts have emerged from the report of the screening committee that examined the presidential aspirants of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

The report was submitted to the Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu at its national headquarters at Wuse 2 in Abuja on Friday, by its Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

AbujaCityJournal reliably gathered that Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo scored 98 per cent points to come top on the list.

Insider source confided in this newspaper that the aspirants were grilled on competence, knowledge about the nation, and skills to manage the nation, as well as the ability to defend the legacies of the President Muhammadu Buhari, and willingness to accept party supremacy, among other things.

A member of the panel who does not want to be named, said the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo exhibited statesmanship, deepest knowledge and skills about governance, and was the only one who put up fierce defence for President Muhammadu Buhari's administration and his legacy, even when many are dodgy and avoiding to be identified, especially with some policies of the current administration.

"Prof truly understood the policies of the Buhari's Government and interestingly, he didn't shy away from them. He explained and educated us on these programmes.

"The Vice President didn't appear like a desperate aspirant; he put up such defence that you wonder, that if the target was to prune down the list because of this administration, he was ready to sacrifice the seat.

"We sincerely would have scored him more, but I have not seen where a student scored more than the available points."

On his part, the source said the panel found one of the aspirants, and a former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu deficient in many areas.

"Like the Chairman of the Committee said while submitting the report today; although he didn't mention the name, it was only Asiwaju Tinubu who objected to the party supremacy on the consensus arrangement for the APC to choose its candidate.

"As a matter of fact, the only condition he accepted was if he would be the only beneficiary. We considered that strange and selfish. Even the Vice President agreed to that provision, all in the interest of our party," our source said.

He noted that the screening committee was fair enough, but had to guide the party considering its mandate and the best interest of the country.

"We cannot just impose someone whose antecedents will be a burden to the APC. A top chieftain of the party who stood before the committee was incoherent and very disorganized to be trusted with running the country," the source told AbujaCityJournal.

While presenting the report to the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu on Friday, Oyegun had hinted that about 98-99 percent of the 23 aspirants that presented themselves for screening offered to back down if the party could convince them on the consensus arrangement.

"Against every aspirants, the issue of consensus and it is pleasant surprise that 98 to 99% agreed that the party is supreme. And that whatever the party finally decides with proper consultation, they will likely to accept. We had only one exception who said yes, he will accept consensus so long as it is build on him," Oyegun noted.

The source hinted, that that aspirant in question was Tinubu.

Although the official details of the report is still being awaited, our Correspondent was unable to confirm the names of the 10 aspirants said to have been disqualified by the screening committee on Friday.

"I'm sorry, that will be going too far. Please, wait for the party to make the report public then, your question can be further answered."

Good.

Oyegun is a lucky man. Not every man gets a chance to pay back when thing go haywire. He has done his job. Tinubu can be cleared or disqualified but the fact that a man Tinubu worked hard to bring down was put in a vantage position to make or mar him is justice well served. Do not look down on any man unless you are admiring his shoes.

Ok

What is TINUBU' score?

I hope APC has or Tinubu has arranged air ambulance for London because he's going to get the shock of his life by the time the list is out?

Osinbajo is the candidate to beat. He has no rival. While they were preparing for primary, PYO is already working on the 'secondary' election

Atiku will receive the beating of his life and he will swear he won't want to CUM again

It's a screening not grading....qualified to run or not qualified to run...Ewo tun ni na me come first for screening

Some people mumu sha

In a sane country, Tinubu would not been allowed to contest for any political office. Man is a harden criminal. Shebi he said he made buhari president? He is not even ashamed for bringing a disaster on Nigerians. Oya let him make himself president na let's see!

Does Tinubu think Nigeria is Lagos? I hope Tinubu urchins have arranged the hospital where they will take their god to, immediately after apc primary

If Peter Obi will have only one vote in the 2023 presidential elections, it is my PVC that will give it to him

No doubt, Prof. Osinabjo is sound and intelligent.

But this specific news report is from chronic Meth addicts. That's why it is from a useless blog.

Liars!!! Oya have this to increase your blood pressure:

Tinubu actually tops the list. We have a screen shot. The only red x he got was for consensus candidate which he declined. Oshinbajo got 4 red x.

Why won’t he reject it, he said Osibanjo Iscariot

Only unserious and unpopular aspirant hoping for consensus

May he become our president

Lion of Bourdillon , children of hate and perdition will soon start gnashing their teeth now.

How I wish Tinibu will just rest and enjoy his old age. Osibanjo is a more acceptable candidate, he will be easier to sell as he's naturally likeable.

Jagaban Borgu . The man that singlehandedly reformed policing in Lagos by bringing the RRS which has til today been the most equipped and best police division in the country. That is exactly why we are supporting this man

Jagaban, the slayer of mpukumiri addicts is the answer. You got our support come rain come sunshine

Tinubu , on your mandate till infinity. He is the governor with the best cabinet in his era and we are very sure that having a man like this as president means we will have capable hands at the helm of affairs, a win-win for Nigeria

Asiwaju, the slayer of mpukumiri addicts. is the answer.

Source please?

Tho we all know that Tinubu is bad news for APC and a bad market for them.

Tinubu, Modern architect of Lasgidi Again, jagaban till eternity

Jagaban , God bless you. No matter how bitter the enemies are, you will eventually triumph over theme even if they reach a million soul. The brain behind Eko Atlantic, an investment destination that will be the envy of Africa when completed. An area holding the biggest USA embassy in the world. Why will I not like this man

Jagaban Borgu , on your mandate till infinity. The only governor that consistently challenged the federal powers in his era as governor. The man who took the FG to court and made sure he created LCDAs to make government closer to people which is what many states copied now. A forward thinker

Asiwaju baba Seyi , God bless you. No matter how bitter the enemies are, you will eventually triumph over them even if they reach a million soul. These hate filled souls have made it a duty to slander his image but the man keep showing them why he is the Lion of Bourdillon

Tinubu omo olodo ide He is so present almost on every news

Asiwaju of Nigeria , on your mandate forever. We will never stop supporting our leader
