A lawyer and human rights activist, Festus Ogun, has said that Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo becoming Nigeria’s president in 2023, “is a recipe for disaster”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Ogun slammed Osinbajo for ‘colluding’ with President Muhammadu Buhari to bring Nigeria “completely to its knees”.
“An Osinbajo Presidency is a recipe for disaster. I mean, the same man, alongside Buhari, brought our country completely to its knees. How, then, do we rely on those that destroy our past to take us to a promising future? I mean, are we bewitched?” Ogun wrote on his known Twitter handle.
This newspaper had earlier reported that Osinbajo on Monday morning formally declared his intention to run for President in 2023.
His declaration ends months of speculation over his interest in the 2023 presidential race and widens the pool of candidates for the position.
It also puts him in direct confrontation with his former boss in Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, who signalled his intention earlier in the year.
In his declaration speech, Osinbajo said he was committed to continuing President Buhari’s vision for the country.
Tinubu will perform better than Osinbajo
