Nigeria’s Vice President, Osinbajo has made it clear that President
Buhari’s re-election will open the way for Yoruba Presidency come 2023.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called on the people of Yorubaland
to ensure they vote for President Muhammadu Buhari for reelection
assuring them that the victory of Buhari would guarantee a sure ticket
for Yoruba presidency come 2023, Vanguard has reported.
Osinbajo said this yesterday when he visited the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi in his palace.
He said, “Yoruba have a crucial role to play in the 2019
elections so ensure that APC wins. We are looking at 2023. If we don’t
do well in 2019, the opportunity might evade us. We should be
forward-looking and not spoil our future by allowing those who had
plundered our nation to come back to government. They have been
coalescing again to continue the plunder but God shall not allow them.
If one is building a house, he has to construct a very solid foundation.
The foundation might not be easily noticed but when it is built on, the
house will emerge.“What I know about President Buhari is that he is an honest
person and he is trustworthy. Whatever he says he will do, he always
strive to do it. If we look at the level of corruption that had taken
place, it was humongous. We should not allow it to continue again”, Osinbajo appealed.
When he met with traders in the town, he dismissed a rumour on alleged collection of PVC of eligible voters.
“Some people are saying that APC is collecting traders’ PVC and
BVN. It is all lies. The money we give is transferred through phone
without collecting any such details from anybody. Don’t fall for their
antics”, Osinbajo cautions.
Governor Abiola Ajimobi said that Oyo State is peaceful and
enjoying better security compared to the era of past governments because
Alaafin is on ground. He is unarguably the most intellectual and
intelligent Kabiyesi in the whole of Yorubaland. Baba is a friend of
APC. Once he is behind one, all the elements both spiritual and physical
are in one’s support. This coming 2019 elections is between Hausa and
Yoruba on one hand and Hausa and Ibo on the other side. It is only a
bastard in Yorubaland that will not support APC. The glutton on the
opposite side has wasted our resources yet they want to come back. Don’t
allow them”, Ajimobi pleaded.
The monarch, described Osinbajo as a true son of Yorubaland and a true representative of the Yorubaland.
Alaafin said, “God will do for us what we are expecting in the nearest future. He also lauded Ajimobi
for entrenching the culture of peace and security in Oyo State against
what had been experienced before the inception of the present
administration.
In attendance were the gubernatorial candidate of the APC Chief
Adebayo Adelabu, Senator Teslim Folarin, Olufemi Ojudu, Retired Arch
Bishop Ayo Ladigbolu, Chief Imam of Oyo Town Sheik Abdulganiy Ajokidero,
Hon. Akeem Adeyemi and many other candidates of the party ahead of the
2019 elections.
