President Muhammadu Buhari may have settled for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as his preferred All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate.

Naija News recalls that the President had appealed to the APC governors to allow him to pick his preferred successor ahead of the party’s presidential primaries on June 6.

Buhari made the appeal during a meeting with the governors and the National Chairman of the party at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday.

A presidential source has now told selected journalists that Buhari may have settled for his vice.

According to Vanguard, the presidential aide disclosed that a political team has been set up to dialogue with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step down and back Osinbajo as the party’s consensus candidate.

‘’In what is poised to go down in history as the defining moment of the APC’s presidential primaries slated for next week, President Buhari’s speech, when he met with the Progressive Governors on Tuesday provided the clearest signal that his preferred choice as successor, is his vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. He also told some of the close aides of his choice before departing for Spain,” the source said.

“President Buhari’s careful and strategic highlight of the point of choosing a successor capable of driving his visions is a deliberate and highly consequential announcement of his preference for a candidate with the understanding and who will continue with his programmes and policies, all of which stem from his vision of a country designed to engender economic progress.”

The source said by urging careful attention to changing dynamics and the expectations of citizens and the global community, President Buhari was inexorably calling for the selection of a baggage-free candidate.

“Who has impressed the international community as Prof. Osinbajo has done on numerous occasions? He has represented the President and the country,” the source added.

Osinbajo the choosen one, the reliable one. Tinubu and his gang can go and utilised their life ambition in lasgidi republic.

Good

Osi or Obi

Any of them is a good one

If this is true then 2023 will be hot ..I prefer PYO to Atiku

Beer Parlour News! Journalists are selling Clicks using Buhari's anointed Candidate as a tool. Some naive readers are falling for it. Buhari has already turned down Osinbajo's lobby group 2 weeks ago.

People only cry foul when circumstances dont favour them. A single individual has been deciding who governs Lagos state for the past 15 years. He even stopped an incumbent governor from going for second term despite pleas from the Presidency. but this same person and his supporters are crying foul because the same dish they served to others is about to be served to them. You see them vigorously claiming that its the turn of the south, not because they love the south, but to satisfy their greed and selfish ambitions. When you remind them that its the turn of the South East as every other region in the south has tasted power, they tell you that power is not given but TAKEN. How is it that you now want The president to give you Power, go and take it from him since power is taken. President Buhari is right on this one, you cant be deciding who becomes what in your domain then come to another person's domain to educate him on why he shouldnt do the same. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. The North will always continue to profit from Southern disunity, hate, greed and selfishness and theres nothing anybody can do about it. Nonsense and ingredients.

Is not Jonathan again!

Please get out of here, visionless child.

Only Mumurist don’t know this for a fact.

Was your father amongst the lobby group 2 weeks ago?

Nonsense.

Una go dey alright las las, the funniest people on this forum are the guys supporting Amaechi thinking and hoping, he will be chosen as the preferred candidate of Buhari, can you imagine, someone that was relieved of his duty indirectly by Buhari without giving him any clue of it before he took the decision, and these guys still think he is Buhari's choice, anyway no problem about hoping it all make this season of politics fun the more. We the Osinbajos are now focusing on how to dismantle the corrupt, over ambitious guy call Atiku with the genuine votes of the masses, stay tuned as we will start another journey from next week to liberate naija.

If Buhari is so sure of Osinbajo, let him go through the party primaries.

In PDP, the weaker candidate stepped down for the stronger one, but in APC, this report is saying the stronger candidate should step down.

How is Osinbajo going to defeat Atiku when he can't defeat Tinubu in a contest at the party level?

Ask carefully about the Ambode story. Tinubu could not save Ambode, because doing so would have ruined his relevance in Lagos. Ambode offended party leaders who are important men in the party. They wanted him out, and Tinubu could not stop them.

As to your point of imposing candidates, let us blame him too for imposing Osinbajo.

Peter Obi gets no votes outside of South east. No one will vote him in Yoruba land and the north. He should also forget about the middle belt

So u prefer Tinubu ?

Osinbajo ahead of tinubu, I don't mind

If you put tinubu and osinbajo for ballot say make nigerians (not delegate who are after the dollars) to choose one, osinbajo go beat tinubu like kilode.

Eko political candidate issues is not different from Naija presidential candidate issues

As you pick your choice in Eko even after pleading for mercy you refused.
I picked my choice and nothing will happen.

Oshinbajo cannot win the election and he is not accepted in the north. Buhari knows this. He is only going to help Atiku win this election if that’s true. I don’t believe it is true. The party will collapse if Oshinbajo is chosen and he will lose at the primary. Take it as assurance from me.

I have been saying it that its Osinbajo Buhari wants and I am perfectly okay with Osinbajo.


Osinbajo
Peter is Obi
