Osinbajo Refuses To Step Down For Tinubu, Says ‘You Can’t Wish Nigeria Well And Vote Someone You Don’t Believe In’
The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has refused to emulate other South West leaders who stepped down for his former boss, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the ongoing presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Rather, Osinbajo said that delegates who wish the country well will not vote for aspirants they don’t believe in.

“You cannot wish this country well and vote for someone you do not believe in.
“Our circumstances will not afford the next President to learn on the job. And I will be ready from day one.
“In discharging my duties as VP, I have been prepared for the task ahead and I will be ready from day one.

“It is for this reason that I, Osinbajo, present myself to you, our distinguished delegates, for the presidential ticket of our party,” the Vice President said.
THE WHISTLER had earlier reported that seven aspirants from the southern region including the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, and former governors Godswill Akpabio and Ibikunle Amosun of Akwa Ibom and Ogun States, amongst others, withdrew from the race and declared their support for Tinubu.
