Youths in Ogun State have on Friday called on the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to throw his hat into the ring for the 2023 presidential race.
The group wants Osinbajo to contest the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) regardless of whether or not the National Leader of the party, Chief Bola Tinubu, is gunning for the same ticket.
Tinubu, who is considered as a political benefactor of the Vice President, is being rumoured to be eyeing the presidential seat.
The group, under the aegis of Ogun Youth Network, noted that Osinbajo, having worked closely with President Muhammadu Buhari in the last six years, remains the best candidate to succeed Buhari, to carry on with the policies of the administration.
Addressing a press conference addressed at the Ogun NUJ Secretariat in Abeokuta, the Chairman of the youth group, Oluwagbenga Odumosu, noted that Osinbajo, has what it takes to govern Nigeria.
He said the group had zeroed in on Osinbajo after a critical review of the present state of the nation and those vying for the presidential seat.
Odumosu opined that the positive changes the nation had witnessed when Osinbajo acted in Buhari’s presence testified to the Vice President’s capacity.
