The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has urged Nigerians to be optimistic about the 2023 general elections, saying that the elections would usher in a new Nigeria where justice and equity will prevail.

Vice President Osinbajo spoke on Sunday at the 62nd Independent anniversary service held at National Christian Centre Abuja.

He said Nigerians may be facing many challenges presently but affirmed that the coming election would usher in a nation of law, prosperity and equity and lots of opportunities for the citizenry.

His words:’’ We are celebrating Nigerian people wherever they are. Nigeria will be more fruitful and a blessed nation, Nigeria will be better, greater and stronger day by day, and Nigeria will be more peaceful.

The future of Nigeria will be far more glorious, more prosperous and peaceful than her past. We stand at the gate of a new nation and we see its light shining brightly, the nation of God’s promises, a nation of opportunities, equity and justice, a secured and prosperous nation, a nation of laws and righteousness even if what we see today is bleak and dark, we are confident that God will fulfil his promises concerning this great nation not a word will fail regarding every good thing The Lord has spoken concerning this nation, all will come to pass. Every day God’s promises will be renewed in your life.’’

Earlier, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, who spoke on the theme: ‘’The Righteousness Shall Inherit the Land’’, said 2023 presents a unique opportunity for the Nigerian people to make the right choice of leadership.

He charged the electorates to resist any form of inducement and vote for the right leadership that would serve the interest of the people

Brethren, the year 2023 is the year of our test as a nation. Rather than take up arms to kill each other and terrify innocent Nigerians, adults in this nation should take up our voters’ cards and go to the polls. Those who already have their valid voter’s card should ensure that they don’t misplace it or expose it to where it could be stolen or destroyed. Those who have registered and have not received their PVCs should endeavour to get them and keep them.

‘’Let me counsel that we must resist any threat (strong or subtle) in whichever form to stop us from going out to vote on the day of elections. We should have learnt our lessons to know that politicians who presented some inducement to voters, especially on the polling day were not really interested in the welfare of the people because they disappeared and made themselves unreachable and unavailable to those who elected them after they had been elected.‘’ We should look out for politicians who are genuine and who are sincere to provide the basics that will be the catalyst for economic growth and development. I do not believe that all Nigerian politicians are the same – there are still those that God had prepared for this time.

‘’Open your eyes and listen, you will find them. Our hardworking Nigerian youth should not reduce themselves to body shields to those politicians that have no interest in their future neither should they allow themselves to be used as pawns on the chessboard of reckless political game.

‘’Let the youth realise that their life is too precious to be wasted or sacrificed for any individual or group. The Youth should not allow certain unscrupulous persons to use them to destroy their own future.’’

On the lingering ASUU strike, the CAN President called on the Federal government to do all that is necessary so that most of the youths will go back to the universities and be engaged with their studies.

‘’Let us be guided by Proverbs 16:27 (The Living Bible version) which says that “idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece”I urge all Nigerians to give the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) all the support to enable it to succeed in its assignment.’’

God bless Nigeria.

He did not even mention EMILOKAN

Osibanjo is Obidient no doubt

This comment of his speaks a million words "Will usher in a new Nigeria"

olasaad:
He did not even mention EMILOKAN

Only foolish people will support "E mi Lo'kan" that's widely known as a thief and drug baron

Osibanjo is a wise man for distancing himself from "E mi Lo'kan"

He is bigger than that, he can only be given an advisory role or inherit the obidience afterwards

Lol. Who needs the mention of Osinbajo? He is another Ambode ojare.

Bruv, Tinubu is far better than the political prostitute, liar and coward you support called Peter Obi.

While Tinubu has built great Parties (ACN and APC) showing his credentials as a leader of leaders your own 'Him Tu Lie' is busy using and dumping Parties from APGA to PDP and now Labour.

You're a loser and bigot so only right you support the unprincipled coward and loser Obifraud.

Osibanjo is OBIdients

Ok

Tinubu did all that before he vegetabled.
He is like a Pele in today's football game.

Not needed.

IMAGINE THE BLINDS CALLING US BLIND

I'm really happy and humbled to be part of the energy behind this beautiful movement.

I feel lucky to be #OBIdient.

I am hopeful Mr. Pete will keep to his words and I believe that with time you'll feel the same.

Only intelligent minds will understand you sir..u’ve done ur part by not selling selfish candidates to the poor masses...obedient all the way

.

One 0f the key ingredients of Good Leadership is Integrity. I still rank PYO miles ahead of the ancestor bat in this regard.

Nigeria shall prevail

After 16 years we will campaign for you.

This one eye don clear after 7.5 years

We had a 3hr meeting yesterday. And we agreed that:
1. Peter is our closest brother and that we should queue behind him.

2. Tinubu and the Yorubas betrayed our brother Jonathan in 2015.

3. The Igbos stood firmly behind Jonathan.

4. No seaports in the South functions because Tinubu's scheme and conspiracy.

5. On no account should power go back to the North.

6. We have tried both APC and PDP see the results. Let's experiment Labour under Obi.

With these few salient points, I Exmilitant hereby declare that I am fully Obidient and will Obidiently use my time, money, influence and resources to promote the cause of Peter Obi Movement all over Rivers state and the Niger Delta region at large.

God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.
God bless the Labour party.
God bless Peter Gregory Obi.
God bless me.

You're a FOOL (a big one at that) if you think the Prof was talking about your Obi.

What Prof Osinbajo meant by New Nigeria is that it will really represent the wishes of the people as against the rigging we've seen in the past.

Obi is not in any way different from the old system. He has zero political ideology just like others. From APGA, to PDP, and now Labour Party. Where will he go next?

That man na baggage of rubbish honestly.

Whoops

That's a big lie osibanjo might not have political heavyweights by his side but he has millions of Nigerians who respects and love him

This is for all to see and know that PROF YEMI OSINBAJO shall become Nigeria's president come 2023. The process might seem impossible to an ordinary mind but watch out for what next year holds. None of the guys contesting will get there.

Maybe oo

I used to respect Osinbajo too. Yet his conduct has shown him to be a dishonorable, treacherous and ungrateful person not worth the pedestal I placed him on.

That is the position of most upright people. If you can behave as Osinbajo did, to a benefactor who was perhaps the most positive influence in your life, then who and what can/will you not betray?

Of course you hateful Igbos, especially an IPOBian like you, will now begin a love affair with Osinbajo. It is your ways.

Yet, what matters is how his fellow principled and omoluabi Yorubas view him. Only fools will not know Fashola and Jagaban have clashed politically. Yet Fashola has never been a turncoat traitor against BAT.

Even Amosun and Fayemi , individuals who had their issues with Jagaban, showed Omoluabi essence to step down for Tinubu at the APC primaries in recognition of what Tinubu had done for them and in acknowledgement of the fact that there will be no redemption for another 'Yoruba against Yoruba' betrayal we saw happen to Awolowo, Abiola etal.

Yet Osinbajo went ahead with his selfish ambition knowing the consequences that awaits his failure to best Tinubu.

Yorubas do not hate Osinbajo. He remains our son and father. A distinguished one at that. Just that he now falls short of the highest level of regard Yorubas have for their most revered Omoluabis because Yorubas understand that leadership has level and Osinbajo does not have the quality to belong at the highest level like Awolowo, Abiola and now Jagaban.

Indeed. Check out the 'Him Tu Lie' fraudster swearing life and death allegiance to APGA and imploring Anambra voters to reject the PDP he later went on to join.

Obi is shameless. Only two things continue to drive his popularity with Nigerian youths. One is the general political ignorance and lack of knowledge of Nigerian youths and the underwhelming performance of Buhari in certain areas that has left a bitter taste in the mouth if some folks about APC and the PDP that is regarded as tested and failed.

Otherwise, inspected factually, who is Peter Obi? Is he even comparable to the likes of Prof.Akin Abayomi, Lagos commissioner of health, let alone Fashola, Ambode, Sanwo Olu etal?

Thank you for the prophesy

Whatever. Shebi you are expecting a miracle ordained by your 'superior' God you assume considers you and Osinbajo his 'anointed children' while others of different faith are devils ba?

You gullible, simplistic, over-religious and unexposed folks make me laugh. I will await this miracle that will make Osinbajo President in 2023. Keep praying bro.
