Osinbajo fits description of an ideal Nigerian President

As conversations around who emerges Nigeria’s next president in 2023 gradually takes centre stage, pundits and analysts are positioning Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, ahead of other eminent Nigerians listed in a poll published by ThisDay newspaper on July 9, 2021.


The poll followed an interview of former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida conducted by Arise TV on who should be Nigeria’s president in 2023.

Aside educational qualification, Babagida cited age and experience as important determinants for selecting Buhari’s successor in 2023, stating categorically that an energetic individual in his 60s should be considered by Nigerians for the job.

The poll published by ThisDay on Monday listed eminent Nigerians, leading with Prof. Osinbajo as qualified persons to occupy the top position.

Others listed include, President of African Development Bank, Dr Akinwunmi Adesina; former CBN governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo; current CBN governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele; UN Deputy Secretary General, Mrs Amina Mohammed; former CBN deputy governor, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu; WTO DG, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; former Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi, and Ekiti State governor, Mr Kayode Fayemi, among 22 others.

Building their analysis on the criteria established by former military leader on the Arise News Channel on Monday night, former Chairman of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr Sam Amadi, said Prof. Osinbajo is eminently qualified above the other 30 personalities listed in the ThisDay report.

According to him, “in normal situations, there should be a line of succession. Prof. Osinbajo has the quality, and maybe what he needs to build more is the courage because Nigeria needs somebody who can speak up and intervene more often in crisis facing the people.

“He is a good candidate and ought to be the number one contender for that position.”

Dr Amadi acknowledged the fact that Prof. Osinbajo possesses some of the criteria outlined by IBB in an earlier interview conducted by Arise TV. He said other candidates will face stiff challenges.

In the same vein, Arise News analyst, Mr Mahmud Jega agreed that the current Vice President has all the credentials to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, noting that “Anybody who has been Vice President for 8 years should be a frontline candidate.”

“Beyond this, Osinbajo is extremely capable technocratically to lead this country in 2023. He has all the qualities and is naturally in the lead ahead of the others.”

Jega also said Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has a strong international background but weak grassroot connection, noting that the perception of her management of the economy will also count against her if she were to run for the presidency.

IBB had hinted at the qualities majority of Nigerians should consider in their choice of the next President. He suggested that individuals in their 60s should be the focus of Nigerians as potential presidential candidate in 2023.

Further, IBB said such persons should have deep knowledge of the economy, must have contacts across the nation and must have been traversing the geo-political zones, marketing their acceptability and capacity.

Compared to the other candidates listed in the ThisDay report, Osinbajo is the most eligible to take over from Buhari in 2023. Aside being a Christian of the Pentecostal denomination from the Southwest and in his 60s, the VP can conveniently combine both politics and the economy as he has done previously when Buahri was away on medical vacation.

Regardless of his political base, it is also unarguable that he might have learnt on the job, and his understanding of the nation’s economy is not in doubt.

A point both Amadi, Jega and even IBB have alluded to is the VP’s experience working as PMB’s deputy for 8 years. For the sake of continuity, according to the ThisDay poll, “no one can sell the programmes of the APC administration better or able to sustain the programmes of the regime, better than Osinbajo.”

In the course of discharging his responsibilities, the VP has over the years interacted with Nigerians in the grassroots in ways unprecedented in the history of the country.

Osinbanjo is a coward and Hypocrite hence why he is not a suitable candidate. He will only be domi aged and puppeteered as usual not only by his bourdillon boss but also northern cabals that wants him there as figure head

EndNigeriaNoow:
No more elections in Nigeria, get that into your heads.

Freedom Is calling, Embrace freedom today.

Even if there's no more elections in one Nigeria, we of the southwest bloc will still prefer Osinbajo to be our first elected president in our newly formed Yoruba Republic. That's to tell of Prof's competency

landap:
He should therefore resign if PMB is not allowing him free hand to work. That is how it is done in saner climes. And I'm sure he knows that if he takes that option, he would have written his name in gold.

In saner climes, a resignation is taken seriously and you would lose electoral value, if not impeached.
In saner climes, you win or lose elections By what you say at the debate..
But this is Nigeria. You will be replaced by someone who will play the zombie game more than you and people will collect 1k to say that government is the best thing after fried rice. They will twist the narrative Of your resignation against you. By the time DSS handle you you'll wish you were never in politics

As soon as I saw the length of the mass Rubbish...

Dullards don't read anything longer than one line and, as you do here, they are proud to admit that.

It is the reason you are where you are in life today

They have started their so called opinion pools again. That was how PMB was sold to the undiscerning Nigerians & today, majority of us are now reaping the fruit of misjudgement. Where are those shouting..Febuhari, Sai Baba or those asking what is wrong is being a religious bigot?

Osinbajo is well loved. Personally I would love to see him as president

Minjim:
You people are usually betrayed by your emotions and bottled up hatred.

You yorubas dont care about the negative direction to wish this country is moving to as far as your own is in charge.. you guys are vile parasites living on it host.

Great2017:
Sorry to disappoint you. I am a bini man from Edo State. Can you tell us where you hail from so that we can know who has reasoned along ethnic line?

Can you also tell us how Osibanjo and his boss have faired in the areas of security, cost of living, employment, borrowing, human rights, fight against corruption and economy diversification? These are the issues that are important to Nigerians who are objective.

Who are the Nigerians that have accepted this government that has failed in all fronts? If you enjoy suffering and smiling, many Nigerians who do not pretend don't.

Nigeria is bigger than you, Osibanjo and Tinubu

i am benin man too, Obaseki is the worse gov in the history of Nigeria, how do we save ourselves in the hands of the sleeping dumb man?

danilmo:
Are u in this country at all?? Ok assuming if u're the V.P u mean u would have forced Buhari to accept ur advice

In that case, just leave the kitchen if you don't like the heat.

maisams01:
you seem objective Sir but can you tell us how the economy have faired in his time as the head of the economic team?

If you look at the plight of other countries heavily dependent on crude oil like Venezuela, we must commend the management of a complex country like Nigeria.

Even countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE producing 10m and 3.5m barrels of oil daily found it rough to cope with last 5 years of oil price crash.
They can't even afford to pay fuel subsidy for their tiny population at 30m and 9m respectively something they've been doing for 40 years
How Nigeria is able to subsidize fuel for 200m people from daily sales of measly 1.7m barrels daily is a marvel.

In the midst of these, diversification of the economy is going on track with heavy investment in infrastructure as a foundation, loans to farmers to increase local production of previously imported food, loans to manufacturing leading to increased profitability.
Heavy private investment in oil refining including modular refineries, cement production, poultry, etc.
Consistency in this direction will gradually wean Nigeria from the vagaries of unstable oil prices. We can't be running our economy on good luck of increased oil price.

Johel:
None of them Is fit to be president,we no want APC Again....Donald Duke is the best candidate for me..

That's how you people voted Buhari in indirectly

WoeBetide666:
Osibanjo is well loved. Personally I would love to see him as president

By who if I may ask? Here is someone whose people are being killed, kidnapped & women being raped without him saying a word. Here is someone who went abroad to say that banditry & terrorism in Nigeria were being exaggerated. Tell me other reasons why he would made a good president.

Theresamay:
Is APC as a whole your problem? Most of you don't reason before saying things. Is PDP performing better? All these sentiments is what is keeping you people perpetually where you are

Stop being St*pid...I don't go for party,I go with credible candidate,and it's Donald Duke for me....APC failed even more than PDP did 16years,both parties are useless but some in there are qualified to do a great job but guess what,pple will only vote for the one with the bigger bag or based on sentiment...I don't vote because of party,I vote for a worthy candidate...Now get lost!

actually I can see you are hell bent on defending Osinbajo, well good luck sir

maisams01:

He may be head of economic team, but still answers to the president. Same reasons why you could have a Fashola who did so well as governor become a shadow of himself as minister. You only submit your recommendations to the president. That is one.

Number two, let's take for instance his handling of ease of doing business. He achieved visa on arrival for foreigners coming for business. But with insecurity on the rise, plus where DSS bump into private businesses like hotels and forcefully open rooms where foreigners are lodged, without search warrants, plus other illegalities, do you expect foreign investments to improve?

I don’t like osibanjo but among all those listed there, I’d rather it be Peter obi, osibanjo or ngozi

Great2017:
How on earth can Prof. Osibanjo who is part of the most deceptive and worst government in the history of Nigeria be leading in a presidential poll?

This poll must therefore lack all sense of objectivity with no clear metrics of assessment and voting.

It may equally have been opened to a handful number of participants who are already biased.

It is only under these skewed conditions Osibanjo or any other failed politician can soar high.

The people know better. Osinbajo is not part of the of this government in anyway. The government was fair untill he was silenced b4 they started rolling out their secret evil Agenda. I see Osinbajo resigning b4 2023

Your thread has been removed i guess, is like the owner of this site is against self determination. Let see what becomes of this forced unholy union in the weeks, months and years to come.

maisams01:
Proofs of what exactly? Can you deny Tinubu is his godfather? Don't you see the way he praises him especially on occasions such as Tinubu's birthday? can you deny Tinubu was one of the if not the major reason he is the VP today? Sir someone with zero tolerance to corruption will not associate with a personality like BAT, sorry to burst your bubble but in the current crop of politicians in Niger, no one has zero tolerance for corruption.

If Tinubu calls your for your presence this moment you will drop the nonsense you're typing and report to his location.
It's normal for people who have achieved nothing to hate those who have. Same way you probably hate Dangote is the same way ordinary American folks also hated Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt etc. Today those guys are remembered as the men who built America, what are the haters remembered for? Who knows them?

If he thinks he isn't valued enough he should speak up or resign. That is what men of principle do

What we should be bothered about is how to counter the evil plans of the fulanis. It seems we don't even understand what they are up to. Our eyes are opened but we can't see.

Where is Gov Wike list can't be completed without him

Naijaishellish:
i am benin man too, Obaseki is the worse gov in the history of Nigeria, how do we save ourselves in the hands of the sleeping dumb man?

You may be right. I am yet to see him do things differently.

Our democracy is rooted on faulty institutions. For example, our party system and electioneering processes are so corrupt to say the least. These instituons need absolute overhauling and reengineering.

Politics in Nigeria is too lucrative. For example, we boast of the highest paid politicians in the world. This alone is capable of attracting all manner of characters who really do not have any business with leadership and service. Remove this and you will have solved half of the issues.

Not until then, we shall be recycling money bags and questionable characters.
