It could be recalled that the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on early hours of Monday morning, had officially announced his intention to contest for 2023 presidential under All Progressives Congress (APC). While presenting his declaration speech, the Vice President said that, he has worked with the President of Nigeria for the past seven years and that has gone through all local government areas in Nigeria and has also felt the pains of the masses, adding that he is ready to heal the pains if elected president in 2023.
”For the past seven years, I have served as vice president under a true Nigerian patriot, a servant of the nation in war and peace, and a man of integrity, President Muhammadu Buhari. We have, together, worked through some of the most difficult times in the history of our nation, but we have remained focused on securing the country, providing infrastructure and growing our economy.
“”I’ve been to practically all local governments in Nigeria. I have been in markets, factories, schools, and farms. I have been in agricultural, mining and oil-producing communities in the Delta, in Kebbi, Enugu, Borno; Rivers, Plateau and Ondo; and in all other states of the federation, listening to the diverse experiences and yearnings of our people. I have visited our gallant troops in the north-east and our brothers and sisters in the IDP camps. I have felt the pain and anguish of victims of violent conflicts, terrorist attacks, flooding, fire and other disasters. I have been in the homes of many ordinary Nigerians in various parts of the country. I have sat with our techprenuers in Lagos, Edo, and Kaduna, with our Nollywood and Kannywood actors; with our musicians from Lagos, Onitsha and Kano. And I have spoken to small and large businesses”, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo maintained.
