Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has finally reacted to the victory of the APC national leader Bola Tinubu who crushed him and 12 others in the party’s presidential primary in Abuja on Wednesday.
It took Osinbajo over 24 hours to congratulate the winner, his estranged benefactor.
Osinbajo in a statement on Thursday noted that the APC leader’s sterling contributions to Nigeria’s democracy and its progress stand him out.
“His wealth of experience will certainly be critical in our party’s continued efforts to attain a more secure and prosperous Nigeria”, he said.
Osinajo urged APC members to unite and support Tinubu to ensure victory for our party in the 2023 elections.
According to him, for many decades, Tinubu has shown passion, patriotism, courage and determination in the cause of nation-building.
“We must remain strong and united in pursuing our collective vision as a party towards building a country that can provide a decent life and livelihoods for all our people”, his statement added.
Osinbajo also congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari and leaders of the APC for a successful special convention.
