The National leader of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu has refused to comment on the alleged presidential ambition of vice president Yemi Osinbajo.
After a closed door meeting with president Muhammadu Buhari yesterday, where he reportedly informed him of his presidential ambition in the forthcoming elections, Bola Tinubu was asked by newsmen to comment on the speculations that Yemi Osinbajo may also vie for the ticket but, he refused.
Tinubu’s reply to newsmen.
According to a report released by daily post, The former Lagos state governor said he would rather not discuss any individual now but himself. He said he has the confidence, vision and capacity to build on the foundation of the president and turn Nigeria better just as he did with commitment and yielding zeal in Lagos State.
This reply by Bola Tinubu is classic and quite commendable. Many expected Bola Tinubu to comment on the issue given the fact that he shares a unique history with vice president Yemi Osinbajo.
You may recall that during the period Bola Tinubu was governor of Lagos state, Osinbajo served as Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice of the state. And if not for Tinubu’s foresight and government of inclusiveness, Osinbajo may not have been where he is today.
However, while some may think that it is morally right for Yemi Osinbajo to abandon his rumoured intentions to run for president so that Bola Tinubu, the man who gave him the platform to rise, can go ahead to contest for president, others believe that Osinbajo should not allow his past to stop him from contesting for president in the forthcoming elections.
However, it is left to be seen whether Yemi Osinbajo will be grateful enough to let go of his rumoured ambitions just for Bola Tinubu, his former boss to emerge as flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress in the forthcoming elections.
Whatever happens, both prospective candidates are over qualified to rule the nation as president.
