The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Monday visited
the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, and some leaders of the All
Progressives Congress, as well as some political office holders in the state as
the presidential primary of the party, draws nearer.
The visit may not be unconnected to part of the consultation
tour being embarked by Osinbajo to the party faithful across the country as the
forthcoming presidential primary of the party draws closer.
The vice president, who expressed his readiness to contest
the presidential election in 2023, said it would amount to an act of betrayal
to the country if he failed to serve Nigeria.
He said, “Opportunity comes once in a while. It is also a privilege to serve. Our country needs service that will bring the country out of the wood.
“Nobody can be anything without the endorsement of God. I
declare my intention based on the fact that I have served for over seven months
as acting president. I was given very serious responsibility as an acting
president.
“Now the opportunity has come, with the experience that I
have, the connection and contacts that I have both locally and internationally,
it will be a betrayal to the country not to accept to serve the country. Many
people are dying for the country every day. If with all that has been given to
me by the grace of God, all experience, I now retire to Lagos or Ikene to go
and be writing my memoir, it would be a great injustice to this country.”
In his remarks, Akeredolu said the delegates from the state
love and respect him but said it is God that enthrones.
“It is only God that can enthrone, if God says it is you
(Osinbajo), it will be you,” Akeredolu declared
