The Osinbajo Support Movement (OSM) has described as insulting, the comment of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), that he has forgiven Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

While addressing a Kano group that backed Osinbajo’s presidential aspiration in the buildup to the May presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu had said he did not have anything against the vice president.

I have nothing against him. I have been to his house after the primaries. I saw him on the day of the goodwill message [at] the retreat organised by the president. And a man who forgives, a man who asks for forgiveness from Allah fully deserves forgiveness. If you cannot give forgiveness, how are you asking from Allah? To me, it is over,” Tinubu had said.

But responding in a statement on Thursday, the group said while there is room for political realignment, any talk of forgiveness between Osinbajo and Tinubu is both an insult and a provocation.

The group said this in a statement signed by its national coordinator, Mr Liberty Badmus.

“While the OSM welcomes the need for the APC flagbearer and other presidential aspirants to come together, the group rejects the use of the word “forgiveness” and the implications attached to it.”

“We note just like the flagbearer stated that both the VP and himself have met at least twice since after the primaries, any attempt to take a revisionist perspective by insinuating that an offence had been committed because a sitting VP decided to run for the Office of President is an unmitigated insult, completely unnecessary and such narratives ought to be totally discouraged.

“We recall that a meeting of APC Elders in the Southwest ahead of the primaries where the aspirants had resolved the issue concluding that all the aspirants had the right to contest. It is the spirit of that meeting that should be maintained not a derogatory effort which undercuts the solidarity required to take both the flagbearer and the aspirants including the VP forward,” the statement read.

The group said support of everyone was appreciated and their new political choice is respected, but will not accept a situation where every group or individuals in the Vice President’s camp will be forced and classified “into this agenda”.

“Everyone who supported the Vice President has the right to support whoever they wish after the primary, and Vice President Osinbajo has made it clear that people are free to support the party’s candidate but no one should however ridicule us and our principal by going to beg for forgiveness, Nigeria runs a democratic democracy, and approves anyone within the legal ambit of our laws (constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the APC constitution) to seek to be elected for President and other elective offices as so desired.

“For the umpteenth time, we state that His Excellency, the Vice President has not committed any crime or offended anyone by seeking to serve his country in the capacity of President.”

It is really an insult. I don't know where some people got this entitlement mentality. One wonders how that candidate that claims emilokan will treat prof. Osinbajo if he eventually wins.

This mischief is from opposition, LO or PDP

One thing with life a boy can disrespect his master

Such a dictatorial, tyrannical and arrogant posture of an emperor and president wannabe. When imaginary power intoxicates.

LOBATAN !!! This is called finishing move

Festus keyamo must be really tired of defending tinubu cos that’s what he was really appointed for.

e don't hv other choice bt to say rubbish just to pls grand pa

Osinbajo no reason am
Na old age talk

It's alright.

Osibanjo would've been a better candidate for Apc.... Obi is coming.

Tinubu uses his mouth b4 his brain

That is the reason I dislike Tinubu and his urchins. So, it's a crime to contest an election against Tinubu? When has it become a crime to support a candidate contesting against Tinubu? I read all the insults from Tinubu urchins against Osibanjo - calling him a Traitor, ungrateful fellow etc just because Osibanjo exercised his constitutional right by contesting for the Presidential Primary Election.

It is truly an insult for anybody to say he has forgiven Osibanjo and others that contested the APC Presidential Primary Election. That is the mentality of Tinubu that want to rule Nigeria. Stone age mentality. God forbid a criminal like Tinubu becoming the President of Nigeria.

Wisetrue99:
Na Osibanjo ridicule himself

What was he thinking supporting muslim/muslim ticket

And where is it stated in the above post that Osinbajo ever supported M-M ticket?

Some of you will never read, but always quick to jump to conclusions.
SMH.

Abfinest007

Tinubu uses his mouth b4 his brain!



Gbam!

It's a fact the old man is way out of touch with reality, he lives in far past

Insult to the seating vice president of a country chia

Judas is still talking?

The silliest talk I ever heard from tinubu's camp; telling Osibanjo "I forgive you".. And some very useless people here were cheering it.

People dey mumu for this Nairaland well, well oh!

Pride and arrogance will be Tinubu's downfall. He has this "I don't care" attitude as long as he gets his way.

the real yorubas are not blind, they can see shortman osibanjo,Ambode and the rest importanta men... They know Bobo chicago is a terrorist,a thieving loser and unfortunate deep evil forces are pushing him but the evil forces will be dealt with.

That sane people are campaigning for that guy is shocking

Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigerians , know this and know peace

Tinubu is not God!!!

politicians the greedy old man should betweens and rest

Thiefnubuu is demented drug tycoon
