Nobody had that against Osinbajo. Personally, I don't have problem with him contesting in the primaries because First, he's the present vice president who would think he had the capability of knowing the weakness to be easily worked on as soon as he assumed office and believe me, despite Buhari's inadequacies, his government had some good input such as rail, second Niger bridge etc. So yes, Osinbajo would think he's got the first know how to continue and improve upon Buhari's government.

Secondly, Osinbajo was working towards his ambition as a president which isn't bad. I mean if a teacher friend helped me to attain the post of the vice principal of a school, does that mean I have to concede my ambition of becoming a principal of the school to the said teacher? As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be in the position of the vice principal in the first place if I didn't have the criterion for it and earned it and we all know that Osinbajo fully earned it. It's not as if Osinbajo tried to help someone in Tinubu's place or tried to scuttle Buhari's presidential post. Osinbajo didn't do any of that hence he's not a betrayer (Same Osinbajo had even invited Adeboye to pray for Buhari while he was sick at the hospital in the UK). Osinbajo didn't betray anyone but was only working peacefully towards his own aspiration in a peaceful way, especially while he's already the vice president with the knowledge of the present government.

That being said, Tinubu deserves his candidacy. He's worked hard for it. He laid down the bricks for the party and worked hard plus the wonderful work he's done in Lagos hence if he wants to go for it, then you can't say no to him. I hope Tinubu doesn't allow anyone to push him against Osinbajo but instead, should work together with him because first, Osinbajo is an intelligent man and has got the technical know how of the present Buhari's government and would know the weakness to work on for a better Nigeria.

Students of history will agree that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is a best candidate for President, in fact, as a student of history, the best stint of the Buhari administration was when he was Acting President. Nigerians will largely agree that the best decision making in favour of citizens and against the elites where made at this point.

I will state 10 reasons why the northern elites (cabals), their governors and others colluded with corrupt politicians from the south to rig Osinbajo out of the APC presidential primaries.

Some of the reasons I will list will stun people and only when they read between the lines that they will find it to be true. President Muhammadu Buhari was also part of the plans to ensure that Osinbajo did not succeed him.

1. Nnamdi Kanu: This is an unpopular reason among Nigerians but it is true. When Osinbajo was Acting President, Kanu, who is the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra was granted bail, weeks after he was maltreated by the Buhari administration. The decision to grant Kanu bail angered the northern elites so badly that they held it against Osinbajo. To prove this right, immediately Buhari returned from his sick leave they began tracking Kanu down. They eventually caught him in Kenya and he is back where they want him to be.

2. National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP): The NLTP was an idea of Osinbajo and although it was a very good idea, it angered the north. The plan was going to end grazing of cows and this is one thing they do not want. They cannot imagine Abuja without cows walking the road. NLTP would have brought modernization to Nigeria but the people behind the cows didn’t want it, they even tried to use RUGA to rubbish it but when it didn’t work they used all their political weight to stop Osinbajo at the primaries.

3. Executive Orders/Knowledge of the Law: The National Assembly had a hard time under Osinbajo as Acting President. He knew that there were other ways of getting things done without the National Assembly holding Nigeria to ransom. He signed about eight Executive Orders in one day and also hinted that the days of budget padding was over. I’m sure that is why Ahmad Lawan was thrown into the race, the National Assembly feared that someday all the unthinkable salaries and allowances they earned was soon going to disappear, so they joined forces with these people who do not want Nigeria to succeed.

4. EndSARS: This is one reason that many will not understand. At the height of the EndSARS protest, Osinbajo apologized to Nigerians for the role of SARS and the killings of innocent people. He recommended that they be banned after he took the Inspector General of Police to the President. For some reasons, Buhari agreed and they were suspended but SARS was the bulldog for some powerful Nigerians and they took an exception to his role.

5. CJN Onnoghen: As Acting President, Osinbajo sent the name of Onnoghen to the National Assembly and he was appointed CJN. This action like that of Nnamdi Kanu angered the north. Many students of history know that just as they went after Kanu, they went after Onnoghen.

6. Lawal Daura: The sacking of Daura who was a bulldog for the cabal hit home harder than many had thought. The northern elites saw it as effrontery of the highest order, not only on the region but on the President. Just because he blocked the National Assembly gate? They were going to pay the man back.

7. Anti-Corruption: They know that Osinbajo was going to really deal with corrupt Nigerians, a category most of them fall into. People like Babachir Lawal who was the Secretary to the Government of the Federation was suspended then sacked because Osinbajo recommended it. Lawal hated Osinbajo since then. Of course Ganduje feared for his future along with all of them that are corrupt. They will stop at nothing to ensure that Osinbajo’s presidency does not happen.

8. Technology: Social Investment Programmes and Economic Sustainability Plan are two programmes overseen by the Office of the Vice President. In fact, Aisha Buhari, the First Lady once accused the Vice President of not giving her a quota, so that she can share to her people. Unfortunately for her, the programmes were online and they were for all Nigerians. They didn’t like technology which they feared will end their grip on Nigeria’s neck and stop many corrupt practices.

9. Sackings: As Acting President, Osinbajo paid an unannounced visit to the Lagos International Airport. He even visited the toilets after Nigerians complained online about the state of the airport. Ten directors were sacked that day and the revamp of Nigeria airports began. These persons that were sacked where put there by elites and cabals as their own security. We all know that there are many incompetent people in government and Osinbajo would have weeded them all out to the loss of these people holding Nigeria to ransom.

10. Sheep among wolves: Most of these politicians knew that he wouldn’t do what they do, they know that he wouldn’t go where they went, he was simply going to do the right thing for the Nigerian people and the truth is that, if the people are empowred, the elites will continue to lose their grip and this is what they don’t want. They want Nigeria to be forever impoverished.

You must be very dumb and has your head preoccupied by aspersions and propaganda.
What political structure has PYO has?
Who are the cabals and why did they failed to install their candidate?
Is only PYO aspiring for APC Presidential Seat that made you speak this rubbish, why not other candidates?
Who are the true stakeholders or delegates that voted in the Primary election and who do you think can influence them?

No fucking Emir, so called elite or cabal could influence the outcome of General Elections or primary elections. Politics is bigger than that game. If it were influencing of appointments and contracts that could be possible but not National issues.

You people are very ignorant just like your boss. You just used nonsense analysis that has no basis or concern as a tool to propagate your aspersions.

I know had it been Amaechi won the Primary Election only God knows the kind of blackmails, mockery, propaganda and apsersions you would spread about North.
There is no way PYO could pick APC ticket with his poor structure, low political profile, and the possibility of Northern Governors to sell him in their region. Politics is all about winning election not satisfying the desires of some midget bigots and their concealed agenda!

Precisely. Also, Osinbajo reminds of the teacher's pet whose only power comes from the teacher that favours and protect him.

Once that kid goes into the playground where teachers are not present then that is the domain of the strong and tough kids who can stand up for themselves.

They have earned the respect and support of other kids and dont need any teacher as 'alagbara' because they are bonafide alagbaras themselves.

Tinubu is the tough kid other kids respect and support, because his reputation is deserved and one built legitimately, while Osinbajo is the teacher's pet who was always going to be stranded once the teacher is not there to fight his battles for him.

That is what played out at thr APC Primaries.

Professor Yemi Osinbajo is the model for new generation of patriotic leaders.

juman:
He was considered too small politician to face atiku of pdp.

That was the only reason.

That was the major reason.

teeytimi:
And APC would have no need for campaign if they had chosen him. He has this natural appeal to many Nigerian either North or South

He is hated among northerners.

The major reason is because they don't want a Christian to succeed Buhari and they want power to remain in the north that's why they supported Tinubu knowing fully well that he will not win by betraying him for Atiku.

Honestly, I prefer Osinbajo to Tinubu as president

Osinbajo supporters should wipe away their tears and join the great OBIdient movement for a better Nigeria.

HilcomTech:



He is hated among northerners.

amongst the political elites you mean.

Eko Atlantic, Eko free trade zone, island, the several bridges, lawma etc.. not forgetting the large revenues generated and the improvement of standard of living. Wetin Obi do? Una dey ment or what?

What presented all the southern delegates to unite and vote for him?

I thought MikoB said he had 14 Apc governors backing him for the APC presidential ticket? Some even said more governors were rallying around him just before the primary election. Lol......I told MikoB that propaganda will not work in primary election. It only works in general election.


Good morning MikoB. Hope you're feeling better now? Lol......

COOOOORECT. ORISAORUNTO SPEAKS.

FROM ORUNTO27.

WHEN WILL BUHARI RELEASE THE MESSAGE OF KERRY TO SOKOTO INSTEAD OF ABUJA IN 2014?

SINCE THEN, COMPARISONS BETWEEN KENYA AND NIGERIA HAVE BEEN FEATURING RELENTLESSLY ON NAIRALAND.

I JUST WONDER HOW A NIGERIAN GENERAL COULD BE SO EASILY BAMBOOZLED BY A KENYA PARENTED US PRESIDENT AND KERRY.

The period Osinbajo was Acting President was an eye opener. Things can be done differently.
