What Oyo APC chairman told Osinbajo seeking delegate support

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo visited Ibadan on Friday to meet the APC delegates and seek their support as the party primary draws near.

He told the delegates he has got enough experience to lead Nigeria as the president come 2023.

Following his Aril 11 declaration, the vice president has been selling himself on the seven years he has spent as President Muhammadu Buhari’s sidekick.

“I have served in the Federal Government of Nigeria for the past seven years. And I have been involved because the president considered it the right thing to do,’ he said.

“In his own generosity and his openness, he gave me every opportunity to serve, including very sensitive international assignments.

“As you know, I also acted as president during certain periods when the president was away on medical vacation,” he said.

“I believe that time has come and I have the responsibility to my country. I have the responsibility to you, to all our children, and the coming generations, to give all of what I have learnt, everything I have learnt, all of the service I have given, to be able to give it to our country,” he said

Isaac Omodewu, the State APC Chairman, said that Osinbajo was the type of president Nigeria needed.

“Delegates in Oyo state are here listening to you. I believe they will work for you and do your bidding,” he said.
