The wife of late politician and leader, Obafemi Awolowo, has
given her support to Yemi Osinbajo, the vice presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with a call on
Nigerians to vote Mr. Osinbajo at the February 14 election.
Mr. Osinbajo is the running mate to Muhammadu Buhari, the
former military ruler, who is challenging President Goodluck
Jonathan to the top job.
The call came when Mr. Osinbajo paid a visit to the matriarch,
Hannah Awolowo, at her Ikenne home.
Mrs. Awolowo expressed her gratitude to God over the choice of
Mr. Osinbajo as the running mate of Mr. Buhari and sought the
support of the people of Ikenne in particular and Nigerians in
general to make the dream comes to fulfilment.
“I am very grateful this morning to see that Yemi Osinbajo is
going to higher ground and it is my prayer that he will get there.
I urge you all to support his aspiration. God will take you there,”
she said.
Earlier in his speech, Mr. Osinbajo eulogized the virtues of the
late leader, Obafemi Awolowo, for his contribution to the
development of the country, assuring that his party would not
derail in carrying on with the his good policies and programmes.
“My choice as the vice-presidential candidate of our party is a
rare opportunity for Remoland, Ogun State and Nigeria. It is
God’s divine. Awolowo came out of Remoland to become the
Premier of the defunct Western region and he did excellently
well. It is my utmost believe and prayer that we will do more
than him,” Mr. Osinbajo said.
He said he was in Ikenne, his homestead, to receive blessings
from the nonagenarian for a successful outcome at the polls come
Feburary 14.
He attributed high level of insecurity, unemployment, failure in
the power sector and other socio-economic challenges
confronting Nigeria to bad leadership, promising that his party
would bring about the desired change in all ramifications.
Mr. Osinbajo was accompanied by his wife, Dolapo, his twin
brother, Akin Osinbajo, who was former Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice in Ogun State, the Iyaloja General of
Remoland, Mercy Owolana, a former senator, Olorunimbe
Mamora, among others.
The team also paid a courtesy call on the Akarigbo and
Paramount Ruler of Remoland, Michael Sonariwo, and the
Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Kayode Adetona.

The sage Awolowo himself if arise from his catacomb today can't endorse a traitor, bloold sucker and killer of youth corpers.

Everybody seems to be deserting the sinking ship of GEJ.

His re-election ambition is fast unraveling before his very eyes, even though the only thing to which he seems to have been seriously commitment since in six years in office has been his re-election bid.

Every decision he made, every politician he courted, every prisoner he released, every convict he pardoned, every church he visited, he always seemed to have only one thought in his mind, and that is, how this would help him to win the re-election in 2015.

The result of all this is that he never had time to actually work for the people, or even appointed good and credible people who could work for the people. He could pick the worst character from a state and appoint him a minister if he sensed that it could be in the interest of his re-election campaign.

And now the D-Day has come, and the ordinary people he has ignored all this long are determined to show him that they are the real custodians of power, through their votes.

As the recent primaries have shown, many of the few rogues he chose to empowered with positions and money, hoping that he could use them to win re-election, are so discredited and loathed by their people that they could not even win primary elections for themselves or their favoured candidates in their respective constituencies, talk less of convincing their people to re-elect a failure like him for another 4 more years!

Mama don old,she nor undestand anytin again.hit like if u feel say na head mama suppose put am nor b back.lolz
