Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has picked his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to contest for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Chairman of the umbrella body of Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s support groups, The Progressives Project TPP, Senator Kabiru Gaya led a team to pick up the form in Abuja.
Senator Gaya said to journalists after picking the form that politics is a game of give and take therefore the president should go to the Southern part of the country.
“I believe it is a game of giving and take. We have served the president in this country for eight years under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari so therefore the presidency should go to the South and that is why we said the best person to handle this matter is somebody who has been in the system, if he’s sworn-in today at the Eagles square, by tomorrow morning he can pick up because he’s already in the system. I was a governor I know what it takes when you are sworn in it takes time for you to learn and move forward. But when you are in the system, you don’t have that problem, it’s going to improve because they have now drawn a plan and which you could have peace, stability and better economy and he’s going to improve on that new plan we have to develop the economy to be better and for Nigerians to be better” Gaya said.
Senator Gaya added that Vice President Osinbajo will abide by any mode of primary that the party chooses.
Despite the calibre and a high number of presidential aspirants in APC, Senator Gaya expressed confidence that the Vice President will be the candidate of choice.
