Politics of 2023 presidential election appears unpredictable as many political gladiators on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) are already jostling to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari. Political power is understandably expected to shift to the southern Nigeria after President Buhari must have completed his two terms of office. This calculation is based on the unwritten agreement of rotational presidency between the North and the South.

Undoubtedly, the leading and most popular of all the gladiators that are aspiring to occupy the number one seat of Nigeria on the platform of APC is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Aside being the National Leader of the ruling party, the former Governor of Lagos State was highly instrument in the formation of APC and eventual capturing of power from the PDP led government in year 2015. Realistically, BAT has the goodwill, widespread acceptance, political structure and financial wherewithal to clinch the presidential ticket of APC and still go ahead to win the presidential election.

Inasmuch as these permutations look strongly favourable for Bola Tinubu, it should also be noted that some forces within the APC are already plotting to stop his emergence as the party’s candidate. It has even been argued in some questers that Asiwaju has since transmuted to a kingmaker; and it is a general belief that kingmakers are never known to have become kings.

In spite of cold political calculations that may not not be to the advantage of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one thing that cannot be taken away from the highly cerebral and smooth operating politician is the fact that he is always a step ahead of his detractors. While his detractors appear fixated on working against his next political ambition, the Jagarban Borgu is also expected not to have gone to bed without giving serious thoughts to all possible options available to him.

Without doubt, one quality option that is available to Asiwaju Tinubu and indeed the APC in 2023 is the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. The intellectual and legal genius may not be politically savvy like other gladiators, however, his competence has readily make up for whatever he may perhaps be lacking as a career politician. He has evidently demonstrated capacity to competently administer the affairs on Nigerian nation on several occasions. Osinbajo had on severally seized the opportunity of the president’s medical visit to the United Kingdom to proved his competence and leadership acumen to all Nigerians.

Osinbajo has left no one in doubt of his ability to skillfully and expertly manage the nation’s affairs whenever his boss travels abroad for medical check up. The fact that the Vice president is eminently qualified and highly experienced to succeed his boss should not be argued. As a lawyer, Osinbajo became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria at a fairly young age. He had later served for eight years as Lagos State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General. He has also been in the saddle as Nigerian Vice president since year 2015.

It will be recalled that Osinbajo had properly pilot Nigerian economy, strengthened the Naira and ensure security across the country in his capacity as Acting President while President was abroad for medical treatment. It should also be noted that Osinbajo demonstrated his firmness and capacity to the admiration of most Nigerians. One instance of this was when the Vice president promptly sacked Lawal Daura as the boss of Department of State Security (DSS) in August, 2018.

Unknown to many people, Prof Yemi Osinbajo actually anchored the international conferences that led to the creation of strategic institutions such as the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Federal Road Safety Commission and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

More so, the twin qualities of integrity and loyalty that have since become very rare amongst Nigerian politicians are what Osinbajo is truly known to have in abundance. He has evidently shown genuine loyalty to his boss, even when President Buhari was critically sick and flown to the UK. All the the while, Osinbajo never contemplated any act of disloyalty. He has also resolutely committed himself to the cause of Nigeria and her dreams. He has established himself as a political soul-mate and a dependable ally of his boss, President Muhammadu Buhuri.
The Vice President is also a model of integrity as he has for more than forty years maintained exceptionally clean lifestyle and conducts.

Another outstanding quality of Prof Osinbajo is his deep sense of patriotism and commitment to excellence and hard work. In addition, the alumnus of London School of Economics is a detribalized leader who also sees himself first as Nigerian and never known to have manifested tribal or religious sentiment. He is a strategic leader that knows what to do, when to do same and how to get it done.

Despite being a pastor, he has continually promote religious tolerance and harmony in the country. He is also imbued with genuine fear of God, which is responsible for his trademark humility, loyalty and patience. Osinbajo is also a lover of peace and firm believer in one strong and indivisible Nigerian nation. He is undoubtedly an egg head and a great strategist which are great attributes that great leaders should posses.

Another reason that also makes Osinbajo a credible option for the APC presidential ticket is the fact of his unblemished records in both private and public sectors. This fact will also make it a lot easy to market him across all ethnic divides in the country. More so, the Vice president is comparably young and he is loved by most Nigerians. As things stand today, Nigerian youths, professionals, civil servants, artisans and peasants will prefer to have Osinbajo as their next president because of his close interactions with them.

While others gladiators are busy scheming to grab the presidential ticket of APC, Nigerian Vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has always count on the same grace of God that sought out David amongst his brethren and eventually made him a king. The 64 years old lawyer and pastor is divinely positioned to be the joker of APC in 2023. He is clearly positioned not only to help the party retain power, but to also unite all factions and restore lasting peace and discipline to the ruling party.

All what I see from this agitation is that we should focus on a man who is competent and who has been working tirelessly to revive the correct situation of our dear country, someone who's capable and ready to work effectively is OSINBAJO

Next President, This i have seen

a humble man to the core

I have noticed that people who smear this good man are Ignorance of his good work in this administration, wish those people see him for who he really is. A man with unblemish character filled with empathy and compassion towards Nigerian People irrespective of their tribe, ethnic, religion and all sorts.

My Next President

.

Osinbajo is far better an option to Tinubu

Image laundry for a man whose "hands are always tied"

I'm leaving this country for una.

He's quite deserving of the crown but he lacks one thing.

The ability to be dogged and some cases ruthless in this harsh Nigeria political clime.

He should borrow a leaf from Obasanjo in this regard.

Silly zombies. Suffer no dey tire una. Same govt that the only food meant for the poor - Garri, is now costlier than rice. Osinbanjo is number 2 in govt, so don't even tell me he is just a vice president. Fvck that shitty assertion.

FYI, osinbanjo is part of the problem we have in Nigeria today. No idiot in this govt should be allowed to ever hold public office again. Evil people with their brainless supporters

Damnnn niggar
Isoright.....
I perused through the article while blazing my weed

I must say the article is devoid of intellect

Just hyping and praising the mere house boy in aso rock

This present administration is Buhari-Osinbajo government.
The hype does not match the reality on ground.

Las las i hope it won’t be curses and dragging down like the case of Buhari

2023 come fast biko....

As far as we are concerned,
#STARBOY and Zulum
Come 2023 Insha Allah,
By Gods able Grace.

STARBOY all da way......

Osinbajo, The great Man

God bless our amiable Vice president Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
God bless Nigeria.

Our own @[/b] be say : [b]STARBOY and ZULUM all da Way.

Come 2023 BGG,
STARBOY and ZULUM we dey for una.
Whether the evil ones like it or not,
Nigeria will succeed.

Serveyouright:

The best for the job so far. If only greedy men in politics will allow this combo to fly.

We sane, good, honest and hardworking Nigerians will do all in our power to make this Combo work.
That is why we all must come together.

Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime

PYO : Man of the people.... Sane people we mean.
Sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians.

Mexzy4sho:

one can't deny that this combo would be the best to beat currently in Nigeria.
Manna, you make sense for here.

Now, clap for yasef

As much as I want him as the next president, but truth be told it won't be easy for him at all.. I'm not sure the North is ready to relinquish power by 2023, Osibanjo is not really that grass rooted with all the political permutations in this country. PDP is forging a serious alliance with APC by planting moles in the party, Atiku will still come out 2023. The south is too divided for him to win a general election. And I'm sure SE and SS would like to have a pound of revenge because of what SW did to GEJ.. the best chance of Osibanjo becoming the president is if anything happens to PMB..

My Next President

Our Next President!

GBAMSOLUTELY!!!


God bless Nigeria and God bless all sane , good , honest and hardworking Nigerians.

We Rise.

I like the guy. Good or bad, there is definitely more to him than he is showing. But how strong is his will? Nigeria is not for the faint hearted.

85% of Nairaland members will not read up to half of that article, their comments will be based on the topic.

This I have seen.

Saifullah01:
I like the guy

iHart:
I love this man

We Love him too.
Only fraudsters, criminals, thieves and losers in life don't like him obviously .
The same nuisances that do not like sane, good and honest members here.
Two time losers.

Make una allow this man to rest now...


Una want kill am

How this one take concern me self?
Abi na me wan settle down read this long Novel?

Give it to PYO!

He deserves it.

God will punish all those who led us to this situation

Senseless talk

Which of the Osibanjo's?

a) Professor Osibanjo

b)Pastor Osibanjo

We are still waiting for his report on price control. We need it now with the evil of their administration and the high price of goods and services.

Hallucinations is a welcome development.

In the history of Nigeria, no VP or even deputy governor has ever taken over from the president except by death. But hallucinating is ok until 2023.

Saifullah01:
I like the guy

He is the number two citizen under whom everything and every commodity has sky rocketed. Stop liking your oppressors
