The Ondo state chapter of the
Southwest Youth Congress (SYC) says no amount of gimmicks or lies against
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo can stop him from becoming Nigeria’s president in
2023.
The group made this known on
Thursday during a procession for Osinbajo’s candidacy in Akure, the state
capital.
Bamise Akintomide, who led the
state chapter of SYC, alleged that “desperate cabals” are responsible for the
“campaign of calumny” against Osinbajo to stop the presidency from moving to
the south-west.
“While we are confident that the
perceived threat against Professor Osinbajo bears the imprints of a desperate
cabal’s wicked strategy for relevance, sadly they have also enlisted the
support of agents of calumny of an equally desperate opposition,” he said.
“It is our considered opinion
that such a campaign of calumny against a decent character like the
Vice-President will not hold water in the eyes of right-thinking Nigerians.
“We do know that the orchestrated
allegations against Professor Osinbajo, especially the baseless accusation of
misusing a non-existent 90 billion naira campaign fund, are all targeted at
achieving the singular objective of dissuading the vice president from
considering the idea of running for the presidency in 2023.
“While Mr Vice President has not
told anyone that he will be running for office in 2023, the South West Youth
Congress will like to emphasize that the leadership shown by Professor Osinbajo
over the period he has worked alongside President Muhammadu Buhari to pilot the
affairs of this country have proven his capacity for effective and
result-driven governance, and it is our hope and desire that come 2023 he is on
the ballot to run for the highest office in the land.
“If he decides to contest, it’s
our belief that he is immensely qualified and therefore he has our support and
deserves the support of all well-meaning Nigerians.
“While it’s true that there is no
amount of gimmicks or lies that can stop Professor Osinbajo from becoming
Nigeria’s president if God so wills.”
