10 Osinbajo Myths Debunked

I have read many people share their opinions on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari. As if writing from a script, they appear to echo the same myth about Osinbajo's time in office as Vice President and of course, conveniently excluding his time as Acting President.

Just for posterity’s sake, I have dedicated this piece to debunk these claims with verifiable news links.

1. That when herdsmen overran the Southwest he was quiet: Not only did he arrange for the Southwest Obas to meet with the President, he has also spoken severally and vehemently on the subject matter.

2. Then there are those who claim that he never spoke on the border closure. Again, this can only come from an ignorant fellow because he did speak on it at many fora, pleading with Nigerians and stating that the closure was not a permanent development.

3. What about the proponents of Yoruba Nation and Sunday Igboho? They claim he did not speak for or against but there are others within the same faction who credit Igboho's release to Osinbajo. To the best of my knowledge, the man is given to One Nigeria where everyone has equal rights and can succeed without ethnic, religious or social class barriers.

4. Rule of Law: He has spoken at too many occasions on this subject matter and as Acting President also embodied it. This is evident in Onnoghen's appointment, the termination of Lawal Daura’s appointment as DG of the DSS and even Nnamdi Kanu being granted bail after many months of detention without trial.

5. One Fela Castro wrote that the Vice President never said anything positive about Nigerian youths. The first question that came to mind was, does he know what Google is? Osinbajo has on many occasions touted and boasted about the ability of Nigerian youths, referring to them as “our most valuable assets”.

6. Then there is the claim that he just looked on during the ASUU strike. Is this one ignorance or sheer beef? Even when doctors went on strike, he was mediating to end it and it was not paraded in the media for clout until the President of NARD himself mentioned it on TV.

7. That same Fela Castro claimed that Osinbajo did not speak when PMS was increased from N87 to 212. Let me make something clear, the VP is not a spokesperson, he is the VP and he has his job functions.

8. Some even went as far as saying that he declared his ambition on Twitter after this government banned it. I have no words for them. Just this link:

9. That Fela Castro fellow also lied that the VP never spoke on the EndSARS saga when it was well documented that he took the IGP to the President and he told governors to set up the Judicial Panel of Inquiry.

10. What about Trader Moni? I'm stunned that there are those who still believe that the VP shared money at markets. The monetary part of Trader Moni was fully handled by the Bank of Industry, all the VP did was on-site assessment. Just like he did when he visited Borno or Lagos airport.

As “jara”, I think all Nigerians deserve to read this article by Guardian UK:

It does put things into perspective.

Osinbajo is the right candidate. Anyone who say contrary is either myopic, ignorant, or a bigot.

Osinbajo has touched every strata of of Nigeria facets making him the most acceptable candidate among all the candidates from all parties.

There's no need adding his achievements, you can read up newspaper views on our outstanding VP.

Get your voters card ready. Osinbajo is APC candidate and a candidate to beat

You get time to waste on baby factory criminals, ipob miscreants, mkpurumiri addicts and cannibals that have submitted their brains to KANU, no matter what you say even if osinbajo is transformed to an angel they wouldn't accept him, because their mind, body and soul are already laden with bitterness, filled with delusion and devour by hate for the Yoruba people, they are mere dogs barking at the moon.

Failed as VP for seven years, now asking to be made President. He must think that everybody is an idiot like him.

You are the real omoluabi.

Osunbande, after 2023, just relocate to Benin republic because Tinubus urchins will surely come for your head for rocking the apple cart.

One question to the op please can you put up Nigerian economy indicators since he became the VPand compare it with 2015 figures I want to check something.

So what
No 2 man in failed APC administration.
What good can come from a man like that .

Obi is better than osinbanjo,tinubu,kwankwaso,atiku combined
