The base of the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo continues to swell ahead of Monday’s presidential primary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as more governors have switched to his side.

Daily In­dependent had exclusively reported during the week that President Muhammadu Buhari is backing Osinbajo as his candidate and wants him as his successor so he can continue and improve on the gains of the istration.

There was a stalemate among the governors earlier in the week on the likely consensus candidate but as of Friday evening, a credible presidency source said the majority of the governors have pledged allegiance to the Vice-President.

“Most of the governors have aligned with the Vice-President as the consensus candidate. Those who are not with him are governors of Kebbi, Jigawa, Plateau, Kano, Lagos and Osun. But we are waiting for the president’s meeting with them tonight when he is back from Ghana”.

” Based on latest developments, the contest will be a straight fight between Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State”.

However when ed, one of the loyalists of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu said he is optimistic that the former Lagos state governor will clinch the ticket.

” The President himself will be shocked on Monday. The governors will listen to him as a mark of respect but do what they wanted. Let them conduct the primary a million times, Asiwaju Tinubu will emerge victorious” he said.

Daily Independent also gathered that the Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee (NWC) is currently in a meeting deliberating on the report of the screening committee led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, former national chairman of the party.

” From the feelers I am getting, Pastor Tunde Bakare was not among the 13 aspirants cleared to contest in the primary” he said.

Choose wisely becuz a word is enough for the wise

It's getting to the fittest game

When I was telling them that Osinbajo has more governors ing him than any other person, they argued. Anyway, the remaining stubborn ones will on or before Monday.

Right now, nobody in APC can defeat Atiku. That is why they should have conducted their primaries earlier and set the tone by giving a southern candidate. Now they re confused and afraid. Atiku will have the easiest ride to presidency. Too bad

This newspaper has been spilling fake for past two weeks.

Baba carry go

If that is the case why are they afraid of going through primaries. The Governors control the delegates then he should be happy to go for election and not waiting for anointing oil.

They are not afraid of going for the election, Infact there will be election on Monday but its going to be mere formality like I always say.

I don't know why you guys dwell on lies or maybe I should say you just type anything with your imagination, Lekan mustapha withdrew for Gbenga Daniel because of agreement with Abiodun, Yayi is Asiwaju's guy no doubt but there was agreement that Gni should go for house of reps and he withdrew, the special delegates that will be involve with the presidential primary from ogun state were 100% selected by Abiodun, I don't have time for argument, Monday is here already.

Let them do the kangaroo selection let Nigerians rest. If not for rigging, vote buying & thuggery pattern of politics. Why should dominant parties primary matter when Nigerians can simply vote other unpopular parties with credible candidates.

We ll manage him

Last last someone will lead us come June 2023.

And it shall be well with us regardless of who wins.

OK

Greed?

This is same man who gave his already bought Senatorial ticket to Gani Solomon all because of Fashola's guber election

Malory:
Tinubu's greed should be a case study in our higher institutions on how not to play God

ing Oshinbajo by Northerners is mind game to give easy ride for Atiku because laslas Pastoral tag will be used to campaign against him.
This is a game
