By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Nigerian Development Front (NDF) has urged All Progressives Congress (APC) delegates to vote for Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential primaries on 29 May, saying he has the vision and the drive to lift the country out of its quagmire.
NDF President Charles Adeyemi said the Vice President has shown competence in his assignments as the number two man and deserves to be given the top job in the Valla.
He argued that Osinbajo becoming President would be of great benefit to the APC and Nigeria at large, based on his vast experience at the highest level of power in Aso Rock compared with other aspirants.
“Osinbajo understands the country’s challenges more than any aspirant and will hit the ground running from day one,” Adeyemi counselled in Osogbo.
“Delegates should consider the state of the nation over their pecuniary gains and vote for Osinbajo being the best in knowledge, firsthand experience, both national and international diplomacy.
