Muhammed-Bello Buhari (MB Buhari), a public affairs commentator, on Monday described as “treachery” the decision of Vice-President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to throw his hat in the ring as it concerns the 2023 presidential election.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Buhari, a former Senior Special Assistant on legal matters to the Speaker of the Kaduna State Youth Parliament, said the Vice President, a pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), is an antithesis of what a man of God is.
Osinbajo had officially declared his intention to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. His declaration this morning has elicited various reactions from Nigerians, especially on social media, considering his former boss, Bola Tinubu, had earlier declared.
“I have watched it. That’s betrayal in grand style. Osinbajo has chosen treachery. That’s far from man of God,” MB Buhari wrote on his known Facebook page.
“A couple of weeks ago, Prophet Moses warned him: “If you betray Tinubu, you end in shame.” He neither listened to the prophet nor learnt from the [political] history of his region (the Southwest).
“Sooner or later, he will soon take the place of Ladoke Akintola who betrayed Obafemi Awolowo and the southwest.
“Those who betrayed MKO Abiola weren’t remembered until their death.
“Ernest Shonekan was only a 3–month head of state. He should know better.
“For now, his treachery and betrayal are all on one man.
“The man who singlehandedly gave him the platform that he’s using to declare.
“As I said, I have watched it. That’s the only thing he can offer and do — speaking.
“His platform is only his office. No structure, no courage.
“The man with the balls summoned the new party chairman and his structure to the stadium. He stood before his people, Nigerians. He ran laps around the stadium.
“BAT (Tinubu) went to the President as the kingmaker as he’s and asked why a Kingmaker cannot become the king. And we have seen what a formidable aspirant he is.
“We saw Kashm Shettima around BAT. We saw Simon Lalong around Rotimi Amaechi. But we are only seeing flags around Judas Iscariot.
“So many men will betray you this week. Don’t be shocked, it’s their mentor’s week. Judas Iscariot in a Pastor.”
