Osinbajo crowded out at meeting where Tinubu says Lagosians have never attained Nigeria’s presidency

APC national leader has modified his mission following the ‘emi lokan’ statement he made in Abeokuta inthe run-up to the party presidential primary.

He has now got a sublime reason propelling him to Aso Rock.

“There is no Lagos indigene that has had the opportunity to become president of Nigeria, despite the contribution of the state to the national stability and progress. The highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation, “he said at the Oba of Lagos, Rilwa Akiolu palace on his return from Oyo on Sunday.

While V.P Yemi Osinbajo rode on Tinubu shoulders to Aso Rock, the APC national leader didn’t include the law professor’s office among the highes anybody from Lagos ever attained, though Osinbajo, an Ogun citizen, rose from Lagos.

He urged all his fans to go and register and ensure they vote.

On Tinubus entourage were Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, received Tinubu and his entourage, which included the Governor of Kano State, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, Sen. Kashim Ibrahim, former APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, among others.

Others were Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinmma, Sen. Solomon Adeola, Sen. Tokunbo Abiru, Lagos APC chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, and members of Lagos Executive Council joined the roll call of dignitaries who received the APC presidential flag-bearer at the airport.
