As horse-trading to prune down the number of All Progressives Congress, APC presidential aspirants continues, South-West leaders including traditional rulers are said to be pressuring Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to step down for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Conversely, there are also moves to get Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State to step down for Osinbajo.

Among the five aspirants recommended by APC northern governors and the National Working Committee NWC, three (Tinubu, Osinbajo and Fayemi) are from the South-West. Chief Rotimi Amaechi is from the South-South while Governor Dave Umahi is from the South-East.

Fayemi, the current chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, is said to be banking on the of his brother governors.

However, a number of the governors, who are already eyeing the vice presidential slot are seen to be ing Tinubu, and a few for Osinbajo.

Sources said the South-West leaders want one candidate from the zone hence the pressure on Osinbajo and Fayemi to step down.

As of 4.40 pm, the special Convention was yet to start.
A top party leader told Vanguard: “A lot of meetings are going on. If the meetings yield result only two aspirants will remain and the primaries will not take long to conclude.”

Sources close Tinubu said the former Lagos Governor is not entertaining any call on him to step down.

“If there is going to be a consensus, he said he is the consensus candidate otherwise let’s go for primaries,” a member of the Tinubu Campaign told Vanguard.

Person wey him breakfast done ready

Abeg let him contest


.

PYO won't step down
For wetin na

As I have always said, if Osinbajo does not have the backing of Buhari as a consensus or anointed candidate it is foolery to contest in the first place ant there is no better time to correct that error than now. It is obvious he cant win in a free and fair and clearer that he does not have the backing of Buhari.

Why can't Pa tinubu step down for Osinbanjo?

Pa tinubu is old and unhealthy and should be relaxing in the Maldives with some nice looking bitches and not gunning to be Nigeria's president

Why should they put pressure on him?

He should continue abeg

Tinubu triumphs.
God is the Almighty.
God always triumphs.

Jaga all the way

Osinbajo should pay his dues in full

Osinbajo should fight the drug Lord till the end...........

Bunch of thieves.. #EmiLokan

Funny how Nigerians request you do what they can't do themselves.

It is highly unlikely osibanjo will step down for tinubu.Tinubu represent Muslim/Muslim ticket which is worse than Ahmed Lawan clinching the ticket.

Well
In my own humble opinion I think Tinubu should be to step down for osibanjo here
If you think am right you are right
If you think am wrong you are also right
I no fit argue this evening abeg, hunger dey

It's too early, Tambowa strategy is the best.

Osibanjo beta gba fun oga e ,Osibanjo better give up for your boss

Osinbajo is the man Emi Lokan should step down

4wat

Tinibu is wasting his time and his money.
The South votes are divided.
SE is for Obi
SS majorly PDP is for ATIKU ( PDP wants power!)
SW confused btw their brother or a fellow head slammer!

NORTH- majorly ATIKU then KWANKASO.


...i don't know the miracle he expects to pull
Tinibu smells of desperacy and that's not good for Nigeria going forward!

If Osinbajo, Tinubu or Ameachi win APC primary ATIKU will still defeat them.

They should calm down...if not that Tinubu is using Lagos money by now he would have suffer

Shameless people without honour.

Is Osinbajo not better than Tinubu? Why would you ask the VP to step down for a former gov?

Let him step down it’s better ..only a United front can make this happen for the e south ..

All of dem should getat

Never

NEVER!

But wait oo is by force to step down, make them allow VP na.

I hate when flat-heads keep commenting on Asiwaju matter. Can't they face their Pandora.


Pandora for Biafaud 2023

Whether he steps down or not, I hope he's not ed on the wrong side of history.
