The Progressive Lawyers For Professor Yemi Osinbajo, a group of lawyers canvassing for the emergence of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as President in 2023 on Wednesday said he will emerge the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), irrespective of the mode of primaries adopted by the party.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the APC on Wednesday said that the presidential candidate of the party will be chosen through an indirect primary election.

Speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT, the leader of the group and human rights activist, Kayode Ajulo, said Osinbajo has the majority of the party members and electorates on his side.

He said “Our take is clear. Whether they agree on direct or indirect primaries, it is not cast in stone. That can be changed at any time. What is cast in stone is what the law says. The law of the country as given by the Electoral Act stated that there shall be direct, indirect primaries or consensus. Any other arrangement by the party is not something that we can say cannot be changed. So, to me, I see nothing in what they have done.

“Any of the three options they choose, be it direct, indirect or consensus our candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo will win. All these things have been considered before he came out to declare for the presidential election. What matters most is to have the majority of those that will determine the outcome of the election. The party members and the electorate are all with him.”

Lol..... Ajulo is neither a registered member of the Apc nor a delegate to the convention.

Whenever I look at those backing the VP I just laugh. I pity him in advance.

Unzerious:
Thats right,
He won't know what hit him

I have said this several times, that osinbajo has majority with him.i have spoken and even opened a thread about the impossibility of a consensus in the coming primary election for obvious reason of the personalities involved
because they will not agree in writing and that is what a consensus mode of primary entails also to avoid litigation . The indirect primary, is the easiest form of primary that can be manipulated by the politicians, especially the party hierarchy and the person in power, dont be surprise when you start hearing that the delegates names have been shortchanged etc the reason is that there will still be election for delegates, the only set of people that are authoumatic delegates are the statutory delegates, which are just 3000 out of 7800. More also, the aspirant that has more governors will likely carry the day because they control the structure , moreover, the battleground is any state with no apc governor,but attention! in nigeria any form of primary is just a formality for the politicians, that was why Andy uba had over 200thousand vote in primary but couldn't score more than 50 thousand in the main election, any presidential aspirant that is not in the good book of the president or the party hierarchy, should just forget it, that is just the reality.

Beer Parlour Analyst. Which majority? He was begging for Buhari's endorsement which didn't come. Do you guys know how many childhood friends of Buhari are leading Tinubu's campaign? He won't back any candidate; I am sure of that. Buhari emphasised on the most popular aspirants getting the ticket. We all know who that is..

Ttalk:
Osinbajo didn't declare until he saw the green light. Winning the primary is almost certain regardless of noise and bullying going around

PrinceOfLagos:
Tinubu will cry like a baby after May 30th primaries no doubt

RaptObserver:
Indirect primaries are usually won by money bags except Buhari can open CBN vault for his candidate.

The green light that will add another feathers to the political sagacity of BAT in the Yoruba - Nigeria political dominant.
