Real Reason Osinbajo Contested Against Tinubu In APC Primaries — Laolu by Gemid94(m): 3:58pm On May 05, 2023
Vice-Presidential spokesperson, Laolu Akande has revealed reason his principal, Yemi Osinbajo contested for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against Bola Tinubu, the President-elect.



Recall Osinbajo was among those who contested the party’s presidential primary which was won by Tinubu.

His decision to contest had drawn criticism from members of the Lagos APC, with some describing his ambition as a betrayal of Tinubu.

Osinbajo was the attorney-general of Lagos when Tinubu was governor of the State.

Some members of the ruling had called on Osinbajo to step down for his former boss during the buildup to the 2023 presidential election but all to no avail.

Speaking on Friday in an interview with Channels Television, monitored by GWG, Akande said Osinbajo contested because he believed that he possesses the necessary experience, qualifications and inspirational leadership qualities for the office of the president.

“What is important is that you take the step you want to take in the best interest of the people. Public interest is the overriding factor,” he said.

But eventually stepped down indirectly cos no way Amaechi would have gotten more votes than Osinbajo in the Apc primary.

All in all, we have moved on and lesson learnt

Nothing wrong in him contesting against Tinubu…


That’s his constitutional right.


He can even contest against Buhari if he wants.

That’s why it’s called democracy.

And he doesn’t need to give any excuse/explanation. No one needs to make him seem like a villain.

Of course all the candidates that contested the position felt they had the best to offer. And more suited for the position.

Only God knows the kind of democracy we practice in Nigeria/Africa.

Maybe we should go back to Monarchy!

Resist the urge to shalaye.

Tinubu is machiavellian and never forgives

When you all were making him into a monster because you had food in your mouth too, didn't you know he demands 101% loyalty or nothing.

The only way you rebels can ever survive is to start leaking to the public all the dirty linens he left in your laundry, that's the only way to distract him from crushing your ugly heads.

Nobody posting here has access to either Tinubu or osubande. They only relate with 30k monthly stipend from TMC.

Nonsense talk. Step down fire. Paper weight politician that felt he's bigger than what he truly is. The primaries exposed him.

He didn't step down anything. Amaechi is very popular among the northern politicians. He is a cheerful giver too. Osinbajo is not a politician. He has never contested any election before but Amaechi was a member, house of assembly, speaker, two-time governor and Chairman of Nigeria governors forum for 8 years.

Amaechi is a politician, Judas Osinbajo is not. He bit the finger that fed him and he was beaten blue black at the market square. Even when you add Amaechi and Osinbajo votes, the total is still far from that of the Jagaban Borgu

Not an APC supporter, but Osibanjo was very wrong doing that. Simple tell your Oga Buhari, I cannot contest. Am OK with this one.
But he will be remembered through history as a betrayer.

Win your primaries first. You can't be a contender without party support. Unless you want to be like Obi that loves to chicken out and join mushroom party just to get free ticket.

Your question is patronizing. It's like me asking u if taking meat from ur neighbor's pot without his consent is good.

Whether it's right or wrong for a human betraying u is a no-brainer, it happens. Na how u respond to d betrayal go determine how 'mannish' enough u are.

My response was not about the victim of the betrayal or how he took it.

It was a response to someone who justified that taking the meat was good
