Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has commended the choice of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the running mate of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the February 2015 presidential election.
In a statement signed by Fayemi’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Olayinka Oyebode, on Thursday, the former governor said Osinbajo’s choice has further reinforced the party’s determination to effect the change which Nigerians have been clamouring for.
Fayemi described Osinbajo as a renowned teacher, legal expert, administrator and a reform-minded technocrat, who embodies the virtues of honesty, integrity, selflessness and dedication to the overall good of the society.
He said the university don remains a strategic partner to Buhari in the onerous task of driving the change.
He said, “Every time pundits come up with their doomsday predictions of APC’s imminent collapse, APC comes out stronger right from its founding. The choice of Osinbajo is also leaving us much stronger for the task ahead. I commend General Buhari and other party leaders for arriving at a choice that is bound to strengthen our ticket.
“Regardless of what sceptics are saying, the APC is set to run an issue-based campaign and carry along every segment of the society in the electoral process that would culminate in the APC emerging victorious at the 2015 presidential election. The choice of Buhari as presidential candidate and Osinbajo as running mate; two distinguished Nigerians and men of impeccable character and untainted public service records has re-defined the 2015 contest and become a concern to the ruling party.
Fayemi urged Nigerians to support the APC in making the change by voting massively for the party at the coming polls. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
