‘Osinbajo Is At Awolowo’s Level, Best Person To Govern Nigeria’ – Ojudu

Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, has asserted that the former Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, was the best person to rescue the country during the 2023 presidential election.

Naija News reports that Osinbajo, in 2022, contested for the presidential ticket under the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, but lost the primary election to President Bola Tinubu.

However, in an interview with veteran journalist, Edmund Obilo on the ‘State Affairs’ program, Ojudu stated that not voting for Osinbajo during the 2023 election is like losing Awolowo for a second time.

Ojudu stated this while speaking about his conviction to support Osinbajo during the 2023 general election, stressing that the Vice President was at the level of Awolowo regarding capacity, dedication, and commitment.

He said, “I supported Osinbajo to be president. I was convinced because having seen him up close.

“The way he worked, his philosophy, his breadth of knowledge and the kind of patriotic verve in him I just think that he was the best person at that time to govern Nigeria that I have seen up close to be on the part of danger.

“Osinbajo would have been good for this country. For me, it is like losing Awolowo for a second time because he was at Awolowo’s level in terms of capacity, ability, dedication and commitment.”
